I love the fact that I can prepare this to be used in less than 10 minutes. Just fill the jug with water and ice, wait about 5 minutes (or less) for water to be chilled. Attach it to the cuff and it is ready to go. Once the cuff is full of water detach the hose and you can walk around if needed, but I recommend sitting with the injury properly elevated. After about 30 minutes you can drain the water back into the jug then refill the cuff and it is ready to go again. I have been able to use this for 4-5 hours with one ice preparation.
I bought this for my acl surgery. Initially had enough people to help me out if i ever needed it but ended up going through the entire thing on my own just because I could. The thing kept the water cold for 3-8 hours depending on how often I used it throughout the day, with non-zealous moderate use you should be able to keep it working 4-5h on a single ice load. Now months later I prefer my normal gel ice pack for a quick 15minute use after workouts or sports, but for surgeries and injuries that last days or weeks this thing is irreplaceable. Glad that i bought it.
Have already recommended this product to several people suffering from knee injuries. I was originally recommended it by two other people that swear by it. It makes icing your knee on and off for hours very easy. But if you have a knee injury you will need to have someone do this for you because you can’t hop along on crutches and carry the bucket (at least I have not been able to). Highly recommend. One thing to consider is that it comes with a silver metal disc. It wasn’t clear that this part was to go inside the bucket to help keep the ice cold and unfortunately I threw it out because it just looked like part of the packaging. Other than that a great product.
This has been life changing for my partial knee replacement...I don’t know what I would have done without some kind of ice machine. I could not live with out it for the first month after surgery and I am so glad I bought it. After more research after surgery I have found machines that continue to move the water around your knee. If I had known that I would have paid more and gotten it but at the same time this was definitely worth the lower price and works to keep the pain and swelling Dow for knee injuries
Great product, following my total knee replacement surgeries my daughter recommended the Aircast Cryo Cuff. Great purchase and easy to use!

Bought for a double bunion operation because I knew I would be in bed for 6-8 weeks. The cryo cuff is simple, easy to use and worth every penny. My feet were so hot from the swelling but the coolness was amazing. Because it is so easy to use and I used it all day, the surgeon was amazed at my rate of recovery. Highly recommend and can use it for so many things in the future.
Works as it says it does. I dropped it one star because when you unhook the cuff from the hose it does leak a little bit. Otherwise it does exactly what s in the description. I used it on my knee after injury and ACL surgery.
This thing is really neat. I was a little skeptical regarding how it would work. It works great! Steady pressure in the cuff and easy to recharge with cold water by just changing the elevation of the cooler. Simple and easy to use.
This is the best help for knee problems and surgery recovery.
I was happy to buy this cryo cuff after breaking my leg. The local medical supply provider wanted to rent me one for the same price for 1 month as it cost to purchase it.
