Aircast Cold Therapy Thigh Cryo/Cuff

Due to the large nature of the thigh muscle, injuries are relatively rare, however when they do strike, they can cause severe pain and even complete immobility. What is far more common however, are aches, discomfort and minor strains.

Whether you're fatigued, recovering from a strain or tear, or looking to speed up recovery following a heavy bout of exercise, the Aircast Cold Therapy Thigh Cryo/Cuff is ideal for quickening your rate of recovery and preventing pain and discomfort becoming permanent.

What's Included?

  • 1 x Thigh Cryo/Cuff

Which Cooler Unit Should I Choose?

How to correctly measure your thigh

Uniquely Compress the Area

When used alongside one of our Aircast Coolers, the Aircast Thigh Cryo/Cuff compresses the area and provides targeted cold therapy to reduce discomfort and swelling. This helps to relieve symptoms of discomfort during your recovery process. 

How Do I Use the Cryo/Cuff?

For a step-by-step guide about how to prepare, apply and use the cuff, please follow the instructions below: 

Step One: Prepare the Cooler

Firstly, connect the blue tube to the cooler, filling the cooler to the line with water. Top with ice and place the insulating disc on top. Shut the lid of the cooler and allow up to five minutes for the water to cool. 

Step Two: Apply the Cuff

Position the cuff on the thigh with the quick disconnect valve pointing downwards. Thread the straps through the white rings provided and tighten to your comfort to secure. (See figure 1).

Step Three: Fill the Cuff

Start by connecting the blue tube to the cuff. If you are using the standard Aircast Cold Therapy Cooler, open the air vent located on the lid of the cooler and raise the cooler so that it is no more than fifteen inches above the height of the cuff. (See figure 2).

Hold the cooler in this position for around thirty seconds until the cuff is filled. Close the air vent on the cooler lid and press the metal tab to release the cuff. 

Step Four: Rechill Water 

To rechill the water after use, start by reconnecting the blue tube to the cuff. Position the cooler below the cuff to allow the water to drain from the cuff, back into the cooler. Give up to two minutes for the water to chill before refilling the cuff. 

For further information about the cuff and how to use it, please see the manual below: 

Use Skin Protection While Using the Cuff

At no time during treatment should the skin and cuff be in direct contact. In order to use this device safely, you must wrap the skin of the affected area with a cloth or bandage before using the cuff. This will create a bridge between the skin and the cuff and avoid risk of skin burn. 

How Long Should I Keep the Cuff on For?

It is recommended that you use the cuff for no longer than two hours at a time. You must also leave a period of at least twenty minutes between uses. 

How Do I Clean the Cuff? 

To keep the cuff clean between uses, simply hand wash with soap and hot water before rinsing and leaving to air dry. This process can be used to clean the blue tube and the cooler units also. 

What If I Have Pain and Swelling in Another Area?

We have a number of Aircast Cryo/Cuff products that help treat injury in almost any area of the body. View them all on our Aircast Cryo-Cuff range page.

This is meant to be offered as constructive criticism regarding the cuff when in use.
I already have the knee Cryo-Cuff following 2x HTO surgeries in 2019.
This time, following a complicated TKR and subsequent muscle damage to my Quadricep & Hamstring, I felt the thigh cuff would be very beneficial for my recovery. Upon use I found the two metal ‘D’ type fastenings used to secure the straps very uncomfortable against the very bruising I was aiming to alleviate. In addition the neoprene type straps, although a good idea regarding expansion didn’t slip against the skin when positioning meaning I had to either stand (not idea when still using 2 crutches) or wriggle around on the edge of a bed/chair to put it on. The straps didn’t slip like the fabric type of straps on used on the knee cuff. The white Velcro hook sections also needed trimming & hot edge melting around the edges as the original cut finish was wider than the fabric & sharp meaning they scratched / irritated my skin.
These are all points that could be easily address. If the rings were not used at all & the straps fastened to the Velcro pad on the outside of the cuff like the knee one does. This would be the biggest improvement I’d suggest for better comfort.
Delivery was prompt & pricing reasonable.
