HyperIce unveiled on Wednesday a digitally connected wearable back device that is designed for athlete warm-up and recovery. The new technology, called Venom, uses both heat and vibration to aid in loosening and relaxing sore muscles and joints.
According to HyperIce founder Anthony Katz, since the launch of the company’s ice compression technology in 2012, athletes and consumers have been requesting a similar product in heat form. The answer was Venom, allowing users to select a preferred temperature via touchscreen while also picking from one of three different vibration settings.
