How Do I Use the Ankle Cuff?

For a step-by-step guide on how to use the Cryo/Cuff, please see below: 

Step One: Prepare Cooler

Fill the cooler with water and add ice to the top section of the unit. Connect the blue tube and place the insulation disk on top of the water before closing shut. Leave for approximately five minutes to allow the water to cool, shaking the cooler occasionally.

Step Two: Apply Cuff

Fasten the flaps under the foot and put on, positioning your heel at the back of the cuff. Wrap the cover around the foot and secure using the straps provided. (See figure one). Repeat this with the ankle cover. (See figure 2).

 

Step Three: Fill Cuff

Connect the blue tube to the cuff and open the cooler air vent. Raise the cooler no more than fifteen inches above the cuff and allow fifteen seconds for the cuff to fill. Close the air vent and disconnect the cooler by pressing the metal tab. (See figure 3).

Step Four: Re-Chill Water

Reconnect the blue tube to the cuff, holding it above the cooler to allow the cuff to drain. Allow up to two minutes for the water to chill.

How Long Can I Use the Cryo/Cuff For?

The Aircast Ankle Cooler Saver Pack has been designed to provide up to eight hours of cryotherapy without you having to change the water in the system. You can use the Cryo/Cuff for up to two hours per therapy session, with a recommended period of at least twenty minutes between uses. 

Do I Need to Protect My Skin During Treatment?

Yes, we recommend that you wrap the skin of the affected area loosely with a cloth or bandage before use, to create a barrier between the cuff and skin. At no point should the cuff be in direct contact with the skin. 

How Do I Clean the Cryo/Cuff? 

To clean, drain the cuff of water and wash with soap and hot water before rinsing. This process can also be used to clean the cooler and tube. 

Can I Use the Cuff While Mobile?

This Cryo/Cuff has been specially designed to work independently after being filled. The metal tab releases the cuff from the cooler so you can wear it while you walk around, making it ideal for use even when you’re busy at home in the evening.
