This is a must have after knee surgeries. Arthroscopy on both knees in the past and recently full knee replacement on left. The cheaper version is gravity fed to fill the cuff and you can cycle the cold water but it’s a faff. With this just put a flexipac (ice pack) in the cooler, fill the cuff by raising the cooler above the cuff, pop the cuff on and the unit will continually cycle the cold water and pressurise the cuff. It’s brilliant for relieving pain and reducing swelling. When it stops being cold just power off and swap the ice pack in the cooler when you’re ready to go again. Wish I’d purchased before, highly recommended kit!
This had to be purchased as, whilst I left hospital with the cuff, there was no way to fill it and use it for its intended purpose. The hospital advised just to put the cuff in the fridge (not the freezer) but that really made no difference, so the automatic cooler was ordered and it does exactly what it's meant to do. Very quick and efficient service and a worthwhile product that may well see some use in the future on other areas!
This device made miracles for my son's knee after an ACL surgery. It compresses the knee and also cools it but without going too cold, hence avoinding frostbites issues of other icing methods. It also last a lot longer and is very efficient at pushing the swelling away. Fantastic product and very reasonable value for money. Very highly recommended, particularly the automatic version we used.
This is a great product. Very easy to use and extremely helpful during my recovery from knee replacement surgery. Prompt delivery and clear instructions on use included. Highly recommend.
