Short Description
The Aircast Ankle Cryo/Cuff with Cooler combines cold therapy and compression to reduce pain and swelling after ankle injuries or surgery. This gravity-fed cold therapy system delivers continuous cooling for up to 8 hours — no electricity required — helping accelerate recovery from sprains, fractures, or post-operative swelling.
The Aircast Ankle Cryo/Cuff System provides an effective, integrated approach to cold therapy by combining focused compression with controlled cooling. The anatomically shaped ankle cuff delivers even, circumferential coverage for maximum cryotherapy while minimizing the risk of tissue damage from direct ice contact.
The included gravity-fed Cryo/Cuff Cooler circulates chilled water through the cuff for 6-8 hours of continuous therapy - perfect for use after ankle sprains, fractures, ligament repairs, or general post-operative care. The system operates quietly without pumps or cords, making it a simple, portable, and hospital-trusted solution for home recovery.

How the Gravity-Fed Cryo/Cuff Ankle System Works
The Aircast Cryo/Cuff ankle system uses gravity pressure to control both the flow of cold water and the level of compression.
-
Fill the cooler with cold water and ice.
-
Attach the blue hose to the cooler and the ankle cuff.
-
Raise the cooler up to 15 inches above the ankle to fill the cuff with chilled water.
-
Lower the cooler to drain and rechill the water for reuse
Gravity-Fed vs. Motorized (IC) Cryo/Cuff Systems
Aircast offers two main cold therapy options for the ankle:
| System | Compression Type | Power Source | Ideal For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gravity-Fed Cryo/Cuff (This Model) | Manual, gravity-controlled compression | None (non-motorized) | Simplicity, portability, quiet operation |
| Cryo/Cuff IC (Intermittent Compression) | Automated 30-second on/off pneumatic compression | Electric (plug-in) | Users wanting hands-free operation or higher compression control |
The Aircast Ankle Cryo/Cuff with Cooler is the go-to choice for home use, travel, and clinics needing a reliable, maintenance-free option. For powered compression, view the Aircast Cryo/Cuff IC Ankle System.
