You bet. If your surgeon has suggested ice to aid your recovery, this will be perfect for you. You can even take it to the hospital with you on the day of surgery. Simply make sure you freeze the ICECORE™ Blanket the night before.

We recommend before the first use freezing the ice core blanket overnight to ensure optimal temperature will be retained.

We have all probably used or recommended at one point in time the application of ice for 20 minutes every hour, or 20 minutes on/20 minutes off. If the goal is to reduce nerve conduction velocity and pain, and allow performance of exercise/mobility, this is enough. If you are trying to achieve a decrease in tissue temperature at the injury site, the depth of the injured tissue and the amount of body fat are also factors in the length of time that ice will need to be applied.

The RE3 system is designed to reach an effective therapeutic temperature to support recovery, but everyone’s tolerance to cold is different.

If it feels too cold, you can:

• Place a light towel (e.g. tea towel) between your skin and the pack
  
• Leave your ICECORE™ Blanket out for 10 minutes before use
  

Always ensure the cold feels cold but comfortable.

Do not continue use if you notice skin irritation, or if you have a history of frostbite or sensitivity to cold without consulting your healthcare provider.

No, one of the great things about RE3 ice compression packs is that they wrap around the body firmly to enable movement to continue whilst recovery takes place. 

If your brace is slipping, there may not be enough friction between the brace and your clothing.

Avoid smooth or shiny fabrics (like leggings), as these can cause the brace to slide. Instead, wear textured materials such as track pants or a tubi grip/microfibre towel underneath for better grip.

Make sure the straps are secured firmly to keep the brace in place.

We have lots of customers who use this RE3 ice compression pack to effectively ease arthritic pain. Speak to your doctor about when to apply heat therapy and when to use cold. But as a general rule of thumb, use cold therapy after physical therapy exercise, to numb pain, and to reduce swelling.
