Recommendations of use
It is recommended that the patient uses the machine for up to 4 sessions a day for the most effective recovery. The ideal settings of use being between 20-40 minutes for each session, with a minimum of 20 minute breaks between.
The recommended temperature for the best recovery for the patient is between 4-15 degrees celsius.
The common understanding of use of cold compression therapy is to use the low compression setting following 24-48 hours after surgery, increasing to medium-high settings after this time period.
We would always recommended you follow the guidelines provided to you by your healthcare provider and this should not be constructed as medical advice.
