Clinical information on Game Ready cryo-compressive therapy
CLINICALLY PROVEN BENEFITS
Summary of GRPRO 2.1 clinical results
✓ Can facilitate the patient's reduction in opioid consumption and enable opioid medications to be discontinued sooner after surgery.1,2,3,4,5
✓ Incorporates cold and compression therapies to help reduce pain and edema - outperforming conventional rest, ice, compression and elevation (RICE) methods.1,6,7,8
✓ May increase patient satisfaction with the post-operative recovery process.1,6,9
✓ Studies have shown that the use of Game Ready enables early patient discharge.5,6
✓ May lead to lower post-operative blood loss.7

HEAT THERAPY
Med4 Elite heat therapy can be used alone or in combination with cold for contrast therapy.
CONTRAST THERAPY
Med4 Elite is capable of switching from hot to cold in less than a minute.
Comparison of cooling systems
Game Ready wraps offer better anatomical coverage thanks to their circumferential design. In addition, Game Ready wraps deliver the coolest skin surface temperature up to 30 minutes after treatment, compared with the other devices tested**.
**Thermal images and skin temperatures taken immediately after 30 minutes of treatment, with all devices applied according to the manufacturer's instructions under identical conditions. Comparison of thermal test image marketing (sections 7.0 and 7.1). ETR #2712 : study carried out on 10/10/19.
