How Does the Aircast Cryo/Cuff Work?
The Aircast Cryo/Cuff works by combining compression with cold therapy for a premium pain relieving experience. By constricting blood vessels and decreasing blood circulation, cold compression works to significantly reduces swelling and inflammation, while also helping to numb the area and lessen any pain.
How Do I Use the Cryo/Cuff?
To understand how to prepare, apply and use the Cryo/Cuff, follow these four simple steps:
Step One: Prepare the Cooler
Connect the blue tube to the cooler and fill the cooler to the line with water. Add ice and rest the insulation disk on top before closing the cooler shut. Allow up to five minutes for the water to chill before use.
Step Two: Apply the Cuff
Position the cuff on either the knee or elbow with the quick disconnect valve pointing upwards. (See figure 1).
Slightly flex the knee or elbow to allow mobility and secure using the straps provided. Tighten the straps according to your child's comfort. (See figure 2).
Step Three: Fill the Cuff
Connect the blue tube to the cuff and open the cooler air vent located on the cooler lid. Lift the cooler so that it is approximately fifteen inches above the level of the cuff. Hold the cooler in this position for about thirty seconds until the cuff is full. (See figure 3).
Close the air vent and disconnect the cuff by pressing the metal tab.
Step Four: Rechill Water
To rechill the water between uses, reconnect the blue tube to the cuff and position the cooler so that it is beneath the level of the cuff. This will allow the water to drain from the cuff, back into the cooler. Allow up to two minutes for the water to chill before repeating treatment.
For more information on how to use the Cryo/Cuff, please see the manual below:
How Long Can I Use the Cryo/Cuff for with Each Treatment?
You can use the Cryo/Cuff for up to two hours per therapy session. It is recommended that you give a period of at least twenty minutes rest between uses.
Do I Need to Use Skin Protection While Using the Cryo/Cuff?
At no point during treatment should the skin be in direct contact with the Cryo/Cuff. It is vital that you wrap the affected area with a cloth or bandage to create a bridge between the skin and the cuff to avoid risk of skin burn.
How Do I Clean the Cuff?
To clean the cuff, handwash with a mild detergent and hot water before rinsing and leaving to air dry. This process can be used to clean both the blue tube and cooler units also.
