RE: Re: Cold Compression/ Cryo cuff Units

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

It's my understanding that Game Ready applies compression with the cold

application through the use of specific bandaging. Do other cryocuff

units generally apply compression or are they just providing flow of

cold water through a sleeve, especially units that are gravity dependent

versus having an electrical pump?

Thanks
