HOW TO USE YOUR RE3
Only use the ice core blanket within the neoprene brace, do not apply directly to the skin. If using the ice core blanket directly from the freezer, leave for approximately 10 minutes before applying to the body. During treatment be sure to inspect the skin every 5 minutes, if skin discolouration occurs, discontinue treatment immediately. If you are highly sensitive to cold we recommend using a light towel as a barrier for the skin. Similarly if you have circulatory or sensory problems, hypersensitive to cold therapy or a history of frostbite, consult a doctor before use.
Never use if the ice core blanket is punctured or found leaking. Use only as directed. Seek medical attention if irritation occurs. For repeated or extended use, consult your physician.
Knee / Arm / Leg
This RE3 ice compression pack is specifically designed to accelerate recovery from arm, leg and knee injuries. It uses techniques adopted from professional athletes, elite coaches and sports physicians to reduce pain and inflammation.
Can I use this straight after knee surgery?
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 ice core blanket the night before.
I have osteoarthritis in my knee. Is this likely to help?
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.
How long should I apply ice for?
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.
How long do I need to freeze the ice core blanket before use?
We recommend before the first use freezing the ice core blanket overnight to ensure optimal temperature will be retained.
Do I have to remain still with my leg raised while icing?
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.
