Cold therapy units, frequently utilized following knee procedures, deliver consistent, controlled cooling to the surgical site. This controlled application of cold reduces swelling and inflammation by constricting blood vessels, minimizes pain by numbing the affected area, and can contribute to faster healing.
Managing post-operative pain and inflammation is critical for successful recovery. Cold application has long been recognized as a key element in this process, offering a non-pharmacological approach to pain relief. Modern units offer adjustable temperature and compression settings, allowing for personalized therapy and enhanced comfort. Effective pain management contributes to improved mobility and a quicker return to normal activities.
