Aircast Cryo/Cuff IC Cooler with Integrated Pump

The Aircast Cryo/Cuff IC Cooler represents the next level in orthopedic recovery. While standard coolers rely on gravity, the IC (Intermittent Compression) model features a motorized pneumatic pump built directly into the lid. This system provides a 45-second "on/off" cycle that automates the exchange of chilled water and applies rhythmic compression to the injury site. This dual-action approach is specifically designed to flush edema (swelling) out of the joint and drive therapeutic cold deeper into the tissue.

Do you need help deciding if the motorized IC system or the manual gravity system is better for your specific post-op recovery? Call 866-218-0902 to speak with a cold therapy specialist.

Quick Summary

• Automated Compression: Integrated pump cycles water and pressure automatically—no manual lifting required.
• Intermittent Cycle: Features a 45-second cycle that provides rhythmic massage-like compression to reduce swelling.
• 8-Hour Therapy: The high-capacity insulated reservoir maintains therapeutic ice-water temperatures for extended sessions.
• Versatile Compatibility: Use the "Cooler Only" option if you already have a cuff, or select a bundle for a complete system.
• Clinical Grade: The preferred choice for surgeons and therapists following ACL repairs, joint replacements, and major fractures.

Customizable System Options

The Aircast IC Cooler can be tailored to your specific injury. Select from the following configurations to ensure you have everything needed for your rehabilitation:

• IC Cooler Only (Pump Included): Best for users who already own an Aircast Cryo/Cuff and simply need to upgrade to a motorized reservoir.
• Ankle System: Anatomically shaped for 360-degree coverage of the ankle joint.
• Knee System (Medium or Large): Targeted compression for the patella and surrounding ligaments. (Medium fits 18"-23" thigh; Large fits 20"-31").
• Shoulder System: Full-coverage design for the rotator cuff and deltoid area.

The IC (Intermittent Compression) Advantage

The primary benefit of the **IC System** is the "automated pump" technology. In a traditional gravity system, the water eventually warms up in the cuff and must be manually drained and refilled. The Cryo/Cuff IC handles this process for you. By constantly circulating the water, it ensures the cuff stays at a peak therapeutic temperature without intervention. This makes it the ideal solution for nighttime use or for patients with limited mobility who cannot easily lift a heavy cooler of water.

Furthermore, the rhythmic compression provided by the pump mimics the body's natural "muscle pump" action, which helps move inflammatory fluids away from the injury site. This leads to a faster reduction in pain and a quicker return to range-of-motion exercises.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is the pump loud?

No. The IC pump is designed for home recovery and operates with a very quiet hum, making it suitable for use while watching TV or sleeping.

Can I use my old Gravity-Fed cuffs with this cooler?

Yes. The IC Cooler is compatible with all standard Aircast Cryo/Cuff attachments. You can simply plug your existing cuff into the IC tube assembly.

How long does the ice last?

Due to the high-quality insulation, the ice will typically last between 6 to 8 hours depending on the ambient room temperature.
