Durakold Cryotherapy, by DonJoy:

These cryotherapy devices provide a cost-effective cold therapy solution for your injured or recently operated joint. These pads are designed specifically for the joint (knee, shoulder) they are designed to treat. Comfortable wrap-around pads hold the cryo-packs in place. The pads attach via velcro - so they are easy to apply, even for people who have recently had surgery. The cryo-packs are re-usable - simply throw them in the freezer and they are ready to go again. We even include an extra pack so that you can have one in the freezer and available at all times! We have two packs available - our Hip/Shoulder, and the Knee/Leg.

Frequently asked questions:

  • What is the difference between the DuraKold system and the PolarCare Cub?
    Durakold is a simple cold-pack cryotherapy system. It can be used for many applications, including sprains, arthritis, and after surgery. It consists of re-usable cold packs that are placed in the freezer. The PolarCare Cub is our top-of-the-line cryotherapy system used by many doctors and hospitals. It operates via a pump that recirculates ice-water through a pad applied to the joint.

  • How should I decide between the two?

System:
Useful for:
DuraKold
  • minor sprains
  • recurrent injuries
  • minor orthopedic surgery, such as knee arthroscopy (eg. for meniscus tears)
  • joint-specific - different wraps for different joint
  • moderate/severe sprains
  • outdoor/playing field use (ice + water is more readily available than a refrigeration unit needed to freeze cold packs)
  • recurrent injuries with significant joint swelling (eg. ACL tear)
  • major orthopedic surgery, eg. subacromial decompression, rotator cuff repair, ACL reconstruction
  • multi-joint use - single multi-use wrap can be used for multiple different joints
