CP2 Medium Inflatable Cold Compression PackThe CP2 Medium Inflatable Cold Compression Pack is a circumferential cold pack that surrounds the affected extremity with cold and then can be inflated using a small pump sold separately to provide compression in addition to cold therapy. The combination of cold therapy and compression has been shown to be more effective for the relief of swelling and pain associated with injury than either cold or compression alone. The Medium Inflatable Cold Compression Pack has a maximum circumference of 18 5/8". The application of cold or cryotherapy following an acute injury (or post-surgery) is used to reduce the physiological responses to tissue damage – bleeding, an inflammatory response, and muscle cell activity. The local application of cold provides these effects that help reduce these physiological responses and protect tissues:
It is recommended that ice/cold be applied to an injury as soon as possible after the traumatic event with studies showing that the sooner cryotherapy is applied, the more beneficial the inhibitory effect on the physiological responses. The immersion of an extremity that has sustained a small burn in cool water or the application of a towel emersed in cold water and applied to the burned body part is also helpful in reducing the tissue degradation while providing a analgesic effect. Cold therapy has also been used effectively on chronic painful conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, adhesive capsulitis (Frozen Shoulder), and even tendinitis and epicondylitis.
