SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DJO Incorporated, a global provider of medical devices that provide solutions for musculoskeletal health, vascular health and pain management, today announced the launch of the new Aircast Cryo/Cuff IC Cryo-compression system as an addition to its current line of cold therapy products.
The Aircast Cryo/Cuff IC is the first product from DJO to combine focused compression with cold therapy. The combination of cold and compression provides optimal control of swelling to minimize hemarthrosis, edema and pain. The Cryo/Cuff IC features a new integrated pneumatic pump within the cooler lid that provides automated compression along with cold therapy to make it ideal for post-operative recovery, trauma, athletic training and home use. Cyclical compression mixes chilled water inside the cuff and maintains pressure necessary to help prevent hemarthrosis and provide cold therapy.
Clinical studies have proven that cold and compression is effective in reducing post-operative pain and swelling, enabling patients to more quickly regain their range-of-motion. The Cryo/Cuff IC features a 30 second cycle that provides for automatic intermittent compression, along with specially designed pads for ankle, knee, shoulder and back, hip and ribs. The Cryo/Cuff IC is also compatible with the Aircast Arctic Flow shoulder, knee, elbow and ankle pads.
"In keeping with DJO's tradition of product innovation to provide a broader range of heath solutions, we are very pleased to combine, for the first time, the healing benefits of cold therapy with the anti-swelling feature of compression," said Les Cross, CEO of DJO. "New product innovation is a priority at DJO so that we can continue to drive new treatment modalities to improve the quality of life of the people who use our products, whether they are trying to prevent injuries or rehabilitate from surgery, injury or degenerative disease."
