What Size Cuff Should I Choose?
The Aircast Back/Hip/Rib Cold Therapy Cryo/Cuff comes in a single universal size that is designed to fit most adult users.

How Do I Use the Cryo/Cuff?
See below for a step-by-step guide on how to prepare, apply and use the cuff for treatment:
Step One: Prepare Cooler
To begin, fill the cooler to the line and top with ice, placing the insulation disk on top. Connect the blue tube to the cooler and close the lid. Allow up to five minutes for the water to cool.
Step Two: Apply the Cuff
To apply, simply wrap the cuff around your waist, using the Velcro strap to secure.
Step Three: Fill the Cuff
Connect the blue tube to the cuff and open the air vent located on the lid of the cooler. Lift the cooler so that its base is parallel with the top of the cuff, this will allow the cuff to fill with water. Hold this position for around one minute. Close the air vent and disconnect the cuff from the cooler using the metal tab provided.
Step Four: Rechill the Water
To rechill the water after treatment, reconnect the blue tube with the cuff. Raise the cuff so that it is above the level of the cooler, allowing it to drain. Wait one to two minutes for the water to chill before raising the cooler above the cuff to repeat treatment.
How Long Can I Use the Torso Cryo/Cuff for During Each Session?
You can use the cuff to treat an injury for up to two hours per therapy session. It is recommended that you leave at least twenty minutes between each session to allow time for recovery.
If you have a condition that you know may be aggravated by prolonged exposure to cold-based therapy, we recommend you seek professional advice before purchasing.
Should I Cover My Skin When Using the Cuff?
Yes, it is crucial that you cover your skin while using the cuff. At no point during treatment should the skin and cuff be in contact.
Loosely wrap the target area with a cloth or bandage to create a barrier between the skin and the cuff before use.
How Do I Clean the Aircast Cryo/Cuff?
To keep the cuff clean between uses, simply hand wash with soap and water before leaving to air dry.
