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

| 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. |
