The Knee Cryo/Cuff combines the therapeutic benefits of controlled compression to minimize hemarthrosis and swelling, and cold to minimize pain. The cuff is anatomically designed to completely fit the knee providing maximum cryotherapy. The Knee Cryo/Cuff is available in three sizes for adults and is also available in a pediatric size designed for children 1 - 7 years of age. A sterile Knee Cryo/Cuff is available in adult medium and large sizes.
All Cryo/Cuffs can be ordered as a single cuff, or with a cooler (including a tube assembly and insulation disk). The Cooler is available separately and can be used with any model in the Cryo/Cuff line.
A Knee Cryo/Cuff SC (self-contained) is available that eliminates the need for a cooler — the cuff is filled directly with water and ice.

Aircast Knee Cryo/Cuff w/Cooler reviews
I used the shoulder version of the Cryocuff in September of 2009 after 3 hours of surgery for two torn rotator cuff tendons and a torn biceps tendon. It is the same unit as the knee version with the small cooler and the plug in pump that forces the ice water through the cuff. It lasts a lot longer than any ice pack, stays cold longer and is worth every penny even if you only need it for 3-4 days post-op. For normal bumps and bruises it is also great - I just used my shoulder cuff for an MCL knee injury. Two caveats - you need a LOT of ice to fire this unit up for post-op use. I had a 50 pound bag and went through it in a day and half but there is no better solution for icing post op pain. The second caveat is that on the unit I had, there was no on/off switch on the wall plug or anywhere on the pump. A lame oversight for such an expensive unit. The knee version here is cheap compared to the $250 the orthopedist charged me for the shoulder version. Tommy B . - Tommy B.

After using reusable ice packs for my knee I found this. So much cleaner no condensation and easy to use. When using ice packs I would take 3 to 4 trips back and forth to the freezer. With the Aircast Cryo Cuff I can sit at the couch or in bed and just lift the cooler just above my knee and it fills in about a minute. Disconnect the hose and I have about 15 to 20 minutes of cooling. When the water is warm hook back up the hose open the valve on the cooler and let drain wait 5 minutes and repeat. One tip I can give is place a small wash rag under the quick disconnect for the hose. That will save you from the 4 drops or so of water that runs out of the cuff side of the unit. -

Fantastic product! Fill it, plug it in and it cycles the cold water in and out of the cooler keeping cold water surrounding the afeccted area (knee in my case) I had medial and lateral meniscus surgery yesterday morning. I came home and immediately started with the Cryo/Cup cold therapy and my knee feels amazing today, and no it is not the medication that is making it feel good. The compression is also useful in helping to prevent blood clots.
Improvements i would suggest is a temperature guage to let you know when the ice is all gone and the water temp is getting warm. And as mentioned above, an on off switch to turn off the pump instead of having to unplug. Another thing, add a flip up spot vent to release the pressure so you don't have to lossen the lid. -

The therapy and compression aspects are superior, but the workmanship of the cuff was my problem. The Velcro strap material separated from the cushion so made it difficult to keep cuff in place. -
