How Do I Use My Shoulder Cryo/Cuff?
For a step-by-step guide on how to prepare, apply and use your Shoulder Cryo/Cuff, please see below:
Step One: Prepare the Cooler
Fill the cooler to the line with water, add ice and lay 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, shaking the cooler occasionally.
Step Two: Apply the Cuff
To apply the cuff, attach the main straps around the torso and secure. (See figure 1). Use assistance if needed.
Next, secure the underarm strap before doing the same with the front and back elastic straps. (See figures 2 and 3).
Step Three: Fill the Cuff
For this step, you will need your cooler. Start by connecting the blue tube to the cuff. Open the cooler air vent located on the lid and lift the cooler so its base is level with the top of the cuff. (See figure 4). Hold the cooler in this position for approximately one minute, or until the cuff is full. Close cooler air vent and disconnect the cooler from the cuff using the metal tab to use freely.
Step Four: Rechill Water
Reconnect the blue tube to the cuff and raise the cuff above the level of the cooler. Wait for the cuff to drain of water and allow one to two minutes for the water to rechill. Once this time has passed, raise the cooler above the cuff and start the refilling process again.
For more information on how to use the cuff, please see the manual below:
How Long Should I Use My Cryo/Cuff For?
You can use the cuff for up to two hours at a time. We recommend that you leave a period of at least twenty minutes between each cryotherapy session and that if you have a condition that you are unsure about, you seek medical advice before you start your cryotherapy routine.
Which Side Can I Use My Aircast Cryotherapy Cryo/Cuff On?
The Aircast Shoulder Cold Therapy Cryo/Cuff can be used on both the left or right shoulder. Simply reverse the instructions in the listing below to fit the sling on the opposite shoulder.
Do I Need to Protect My Skin While Using My Cryo/Cuff?
It is important that you wrap your skin with a cloth or bandage (or something similar) before using the device in order to create a barrier between your skin and the cuff. At no point during treatment should the cuff and skin be in direct contact.
How Do I Clean My Cryo/Cuff?
To keep the cuff clean between uses, drain the cuff of water and wash with soap and hot water. Repeat this a few times before rinsing with water only and leaving to dry. This process can be used to clean both the blue tube and cooler units as well.
