This therapeutic modality combines the benefits of adjustable cold therapy and intermittent pneumatic compression. It’s a system designed to reduce swelling, minimize pain, and accelerate the body’s natural healing processes. For example, after a knee arthroscopy, this therapy can be applied to help control post-operative edema and discomfort.
The value of this approach lies in its ability to deliver targeted cold and pressure, promoting vasoconstriction and reducing metabolic activity in the injured tissue. This, in turn, can lead to decreased inflammation and improved circulation, facilitating faster recovery times. Historically, the application of cold and compression has been used separately for injury management; this integrated system offers a more efficient and controlled delivery of both.
