Cold Therapy - Calf Cryo Cuff ™   by AirCast

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.

	Calf Cryo / Cuff An insulated jug holds up to 4 liters of ice and water - enough for 8 hours of therapy. Price: $120
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.

Also available the Shoulder Cryo Cuff, Knee Cryo Cuff, Ankle Cryo Cuff, and Thigh Cryo Cuff.

Indications:  Gastroc pulls, Gastroc contusions, Other soft tissue injuries

Contraindications:  Cryotherapy should not be used with persons with Raynaud's or other vasospastic disease, cold hypersensitivity, or compromised local circulation.
