Description
Aircast Cryo/Cuff system applies controlled safe compression to minimize hemarthrosis and
swelling, and cold to minimize pain. Its simplicity makes it ideal for the ER, post-op, training room and
home.
An insulated jug holds up to 4 liters of ice and water – enough for 8 hours of therapy.
Elevating
the cooler fills and pressurizes the cuff. Compression is controlled by gravity, and is proportional to
the elevation of the cooler. For example, if the cooler is 20 above the cuff during filling, the applied
compression will be approximately 35mm Hg (1 elevation = 1.8 mm Hg pressure). When body heat warms the
water, it is rechilled simply by lowering the cooler.
Contraindications: Cryotherapy should not be used
with persons with Raynaud’s or other vasospastic disease, cold hypersensitivity, or compromised local
circulation.
The Cryo-Cuff system contains 3 basic components:
Cuff- covers the injured area.
Cooler-
holds enough water and ice for 6 to 8 hours of cryotherapy.
Tube- exchanges the water between cooler and
cuff.
All cuffs (knee, shoulder, ankle, thigh, and calf) use the same cooler and fittings.
