Cold therapy, or cryotherapy as it is sometimes called, used
post-operatively is a non-invasive and highly effective way to control pain and
edema. Clinical studies have shown that use of cold therapy post-operatively
helps to decrease the loss of blood (hemarthrosis), reduce the complications
from edema, lower pain scores, reduce muscle spasms and reduce the use of
analgesics - while at the same time increasing the speed of healing for the
wound site and helping to improve the range of motion for the joint.
The BlueArctic
Cold Therapy unit helps reduce pain and swelling while
facilitating rehabilitation. It provides up to 7 hours of continuous cold
therapy in the ideal temperature range for the maximum benefit to patients. A
variety of specialty pads are also available, please contact your local
representative for more information.
