Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I'm recovering from an ACL reconstruction. My health insurance wouldn't pay for a Cryo Cuff, but I bought one anyway. I'm happy that I did.
The way it works is that you load the cooler with ice and water. Then put the cuff on. Raise the cooler above the cuff and ice water runs from the cooler into the cuff. If it feels like it's not cold enough, lower the cooler and the warmed water runs from the cooler into the cuff. Raise the cooler and fresh ice water runs back into the cuff. The cooler should be about a foot above the cuff. I've set the cooler on a table or suspended it from a hat rack while icing.
Pros:
It's easy to ice 6, 7, 8 times a day
Efficient use of ice; 7 lbs last me almost3 days
No mess
No dealing with plastic bags of ice, towels, and Ace Bandages.
It's possible to disconnect the cuff from the hose and walk around while icing. The connection automatically closes so you only get a couple of drips of water
Cons:
The cuff seems expensive for what it is.
I got the large cuff, even though I was within the range for the medium cuff by a few inches. The extra size makes it much easier to ice over the bulky post-op dressings
