Aircast Power Supply Accessory 25-4882

My husband had a total shoulder revision. He is not a fan of ice packs that he has used in the past. His Dr recommended an iceman machine which we never heard of so thought we would purchase one. It has been a blessing. My husband actually wants it on his shoulder. The coldness takes away a lot of the burning he has. We are only on day 2 1/2 of using it. We have heard nothing but good things on the iceman machine. We would highly recommend it to any one getting surgery. Thank you so much

I tried it several times prior to my shoulder replacement surgery, and it works well. Waiting to see how it works/feels after my surgery next month.

My Don Joy ice machine worked well after my LTKR. I previously had an older version of the same machine that a friend gave me for my RTKR. I have to say it seemed like the connectors between the knee pad and tubing were better on the older version. The newer one occasionally popped off even after I had securely attached the connectors. So watch out for that while using as the icy water flow to the pad stops when a connector is not attached.

Great therapy machine. I am 12 weeks post knee replacement surgery. I use my ice machine at 2 times per day for 30 minutes. Amazing what it has done for the swelling post surgery. It works when follow your PT’s advice. Oh by the way I have reached 145 degrees knee bend!

(1) SERVICE: my interaction with Jordan, Stacy, and others has been friendly, respectful, efficient, professional, responsive in communication, quick shipping. Couldn't ask for better.

(2) PRODUCT: I have only been using the Iceman for 1 week (daily) so cannot yet speak to its durability. However so far I love it! The ice water coursing through the pad on my ache-y knee is wonderful. I am not using it post-surgery, like many. I am 64 and have chronic ache-y and twinge-y pain in my right knee (& s.t. left knee) due to a torn meniscus (already scoped once) and arthritis. So I'm using it as needed for pain, or after working out, skiing, etc. and exertion. I'm totally jazzed to have this machine to use on my bum knee and whatever other vintage 1960 parts go bad on me moving ahead.

(3) TIPS: (1) instead of using ice, use 4-5 small plastic water bottles of frozen water. (They are better than re-freezable gel packs which could leak gel if they have tears). The ice--being bigger--lasts longer than cubes--I've found it stays sufficiently cold for hours; and you can have another set of bottles in the freezer so you can switch out as needed. (2) Unless you really need the extra length, the REGULAR length hose on the universal pad is sufficient (I bought the extended hose and it turns out to be overkill for me); (3) Be sure to place the Iceman unit on a stable surface and pay attention as you shift around when the pad is on you. I did not pay attention at one point and, in shifting my position in bed, (with the hose attached to the pad on my knee) I pulled the Iceman off it's stand. Leave a little slack in the hose and just be aware, as I wasn't.

(One thing I wish this very simple (but effective) unit had is an On/Off switch. Not a big deal, but it means that you have to plug in/plug out--either at the machine or the outlet--to turn the pump on and off vs. just flicking a switch. A rather strange omission in the design.)

All in all I'm a very happy camper and pleased to have this great device to ease the pain and speed the healing as needed. Thank you!
