Cryo Sport

Active compression combined with cold technology is an advanced cryotherapy method that uses controlled pressure and cold water circulation to promote relief and recovery. The Cryo Sport system exemplifies this approach by integrating pneumatic compression and cold therapy into a single device, adjustable to the specific needs of each user.

• System operation: CryoSport regulates pressure to provide intermittent or continuous pneumatic compression. At the same time, it circulates cold water quickly through wraps, optimising the effect of cryocompression.

• Customisation of use: The control unit allows parameters such as pressure time and intensity to be adjusted, ensuring that use is adapted to the user's stage of recovery.

• Innovative wrap design: Cryo Sport wraps have a unique dual-action design. Each wrap includes a two-chamber internal heat exchange system and a replaceable outer sleeve made of antibacterial fabric, ensuring efficiency and durability.

This combination of active compression and cold is an effective solution for accelerating recovery, reducing inflammation and relieving pain, adapting to the individual needs of each user.

Cryotherapy consists of the controlled application of cold to specific areas of the body, using methods such as ice packs, refrigerated gel, immersion in cold water, or technological devices such as Cryo Sport. This process is widely used to support recovery and optimise physical performance in a variety of situations:

• Reduction of swelling: After intense exertion or minor injuries, the body reacts by increasing blood flow and fluid accumulation in the affected area. Cryotherapy helps to control these effects, reducing swelling and facilitating more efficient recovery, with better mobility during the process.
• Discomfort relief: The application of cold is effective in alleviating feelings of discomfort, reducing the need for additional interventions, such as medication, to manage pain resulting from physical exertion or injuries.
• Post-exercise recovery: Applying cold after intense physical activity can minimise muscle discomfort and swelling that often arise during the recovery process. This method helps maintain continuity of physical activity and reduces the impact of subsequent exertion.

Cryotherapy, especially when integrated into innovative solutions, is a valuable resource for improving performance and supporting recovery in a variety of situations.

Active cryocompression is an advanced technique that combines the use of pneumatic pressure with the application of cold.

• Difference between active and static compression: While static compression helps to contain fluid accumulation and reduce swelling, active compression goes further by simulating natural muscle contractions. This ‘squeeze and release’ movement contributes to the removal of accumulated fluids and promotes increased oxygen-rich blood flow in the treated area.

• Combination with cold: When combined with the application of cold, active compression improves the efficiency of the process by increasing uniform contact between the equipment and the skin. This system allows the cold to penetrate deeper and remain longer, reaching tissues in lower layers and enhancing its benefits.

Active cryo compression stands out as an effective solution for reducing swelling, improving local circulation and supporting the recovery process after physical exertion or conditions that require special attention. Cryo sport, in conjunction with thawing therapy, offers the option of combining active or static compression, depending on the therapeutic objective.

Cryo Sport is widely used by people seeking support in recovering from intense physical exertion or injuries. This device is recognised and applied in various contexts, including by organisations and professionals dedicated to physical performance and functional recovery. Among the users and areas that make use of Cryo Sport, the following stand out:

• Performance and wellness professionals: Sports coaches, physical rehabilitation specialists, and training technicians.
• Teams and institutions: Professional sports associations, university clubs, and amateur leagues.
• Active individuals: Elite athletes, occasional practitioners, and sports enthusiasts in general.

Cryo Sport is designed to assist in situations such as:

• Recovery after repetitive and intense efforts;
• Relief in cases of muscle or joint tension;
• Support in situations of dislocation or overload in the joints;
• Management of discomfort associated with repetitive movements or injuries due to overexertion.

With its versatility, Cryo Sport is a suitable solution for both athletes and people who want to improve their daily physical recovery and, consequently, their performance.

With a versatile design, Cryo Sport can be used on different parts of the body - such as the knee, ankle, elbow or entire leg - adjusting to the specific needs of each user. The wraps are fully adjustable with Velcro, allowing for effective adaptation to different body shapes and sizes.

Cryo Sport can be used safely by following the guidelines properly. Thanks to the possibility of adjusting the pressure, it has advantages over traditional methods, such as cold compresses, which can cause cold burns when applied directly to the skin. Cryo Sport's exclusive accessories allow for precise control of the application time, significantly reducing the risk of discomfort related to improper use. In addition, temporary relief from discomfort can be obtained without resorting to chemicals. If repeated use is necessary, an appropriate interval (usually 30 minutes) between sessions is recommended to ensure safe and effective use.

The ideal frequency of use may vary according to individual needs and the guidance of a qualified specialist. Under normal circumstances, it is recommended to apply cold at the end of each training session, for about 30 minutes per session. In the case of injury recovery, at least four times a day is recommended, with a minimum interval of 30 minutes between uses. After receiving clear instructions on the appropriate settings, Cryo Sport can be used independently, providing convenience and comfort in the home environment. The generally reported recommendations for compression are to set the pressure to ‘none’ to ‘low’ for the first 24 to 48 hours after surgery or injury, gradually increasing to “medium” or ‘high’ depending on the patient's response and whether they are comfortable after the first 48 hours.

Cryo Sport stands out by simultaneously combining active intermittent compression and cold application, all integrated into a practical and easy-to-use unit.
Studies with thermal imaging demonstrate that Cryo Sport's active compression technology optimises cold distribution, allowing for faster, deeper and longer-lasting cooling compared to other methods. Thermal imaging studies show that Cryo Sport's active compression technology optimises cold distribution, allowing for faster, deeper and longer-lasting cooling compared to other solutions available. This approach reinforces its position as a leader in the segment.

Cryo Sport provides accurate information on temperature, which can reach 1°C or 2°C, ensuring the thermal efficiency required for cryotherapy treatments.

With the double hose, you can use Cryo Sport with any two wraps at the same time efficiently and easily. This allows for optimised recovery time with fast results, ideal for those who need to treat multiple areas of the body or users.
