Aircast Automatic Cold Therapy IC Cooler

Suffering from discomfort in your muscle or joints is all too common, particularly if you play sports on a regular basis or have previously undergone surgery. The Aircast Automatic Cold Therapy IC Cooler Unit is made to reduce swelling and discomfort, allowing you to regain your comfortable range of motion. Specially designed to provide targeted cold therapy and compression to the affected area, this cooler is an excellent way of helping you get back to health as quickly as possible.

Please note: this model of the Aircast Cold Therapy Cooler uses gravity and an automatic motor powered by the mains, unlike the Aircast Cold Therapy Cryo/Cuff Cooler, which is solely powered by gravity. To provide more information on the differences between the two, we've written a handy blog.

Why Is Cryotherapy Useful in Treating Injury?

When you are injured, using cryotherapy to treat injury can produce a number of benefits that help ease your recovery. Not only will cold compression therapy help to alleviate pain and swelling, but it will also help stimulate blood flow throughout the affected area. Using this form of treatment can also yield faster recovery times, meaning you can get back to health quickly and safely.

Automatic and Gravity-Fed Therapy

The Automatic Cold Therapy IC Cooler is made to be as flexible to use as possible.

Crafted with an integrated pneumatic pump within, the device can be used without constant adjustment, so you can relax during treatment. 

How Do I Use the Cooler?

To prepare the cooler, connect the blue tube to the cooler and fill with cold water to the line provided. Add ice and place the insulation disk on top before attaching the cooler lid and closing shut. (See figure 1).

Allow up to five minutes for the water to chill, shaking the cooler occasionally. This will enable you to begin cryotherapy treatment with your chosen Cryo/Cuff device.

For more information and a helpful visual guide, we've put together this video on how to use the Aircast Cry/Cuff, along with answers to some frequently asked questions.

How High Should the Ice and Water Be?

The Cryo/Cuff cooler features a line to fill the water to as mentioned above. Once the ice has been added, the mixture of ice and water should come up to about 10cm from the top of the cooler.

How Does the Aircast Automatic Cryo/Cuff Compress?

Once you have plugged your unit in to the mains, you will hear the internal motor start up and power down every thirty seconds. Once attached correctly, your Cryo/Cuff will follow this cycle, providing intermittent compression every thirty or so seconds.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Aircast IC Cooler Unit

We have found that the quality of therapy provided by the IC Cooler increases when a large amount of ice is added to your cooler. To get the most out of your Cooler Unit, we recommend filling your IC tank with as much ice as possible in order to keep the temperature as low as possible and maximise the quality of treatment received.
