Contact Our TeamFrequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a cold therapy machine and an ice pack?
A cold therapy machine pumps chilled water through a pad, so the cold stays steady for longer sessions. An ice pack warms up within minutes and needs refreezing. Machines suit surgery recovery; packs suit minor injuries.
Suggested: Brace Direct FrozenIce Cold Therapy Machine
Can I use these hot and cold packs inside my brace?
Yes, packs made for braces slip into a pocket in the brace, such as the back panel of many back braces. Keep a layer of fabric between the pack and your skin.
How long should I use a cold therapy machine after surgery?
Follow your surgeon's instructions, since timing depends on the surgery. Keep the pad over a bandage or thin cloth, and check your skin often while the area is numb.
