Compressive Cryotherapy
Med4Elite, a technological innovation
Game Ready® introduces the Med4 Elite™, the innovative multi-modal recovery device controlled by two microprocessors combining ice-free cryotherapy, thermotherapy, rapid contrast therapy and active compression. Its aim is to offer comprehensive, flexible, practical and proven treatment options, adapted to the different stages of rehabilitation, for acute or chronic traumatology and post-operative treatment.
1 device, 4 therapies
The Med4 Elite improves therapeutic results in complete safety, while streamlining the flow of sessions by treating several patients or athletes suffering from acute or chronic trauma at the same time. Cryotherapy, thermotherapy, rapid contrast therapy (RCT) and intermittent dynamic compression are integrated into a single device to help people recover faster from injury or surgery. The impact on patients is beneficial, and professionals are satisfied with the care they receive. This is a real revolution in rehabilitation programs.
Cold promotes vasoconstriction and blood circulation, reduces inflammation and edema, and eases muscle spasms and metabolic processes. Cold also helps reduce pain without medication. Cold can be used immediately after injury or surgery, and throughout the rehabilitation process.
- Reduces local tissue temperature.
- Reduces blood flow.
- Promotes vasoconstriction of arteries and capillaries.
- Improves pain management.
- Reduces muscle spasm and spasticity.
- Reduces narcotics consumption.
- Allows discontinuation of narcotic analgesics.
- Reduces nerve conduction velocity.
- Improves knee function.
- Improves range of motion.
- Improves gait and posture.
- Reduces swelling.
- Reduces lymphatic and venous drainage.
- Reduces the formation and accumulation of edema.
- Reduces inflammatory reactions.
- Reduces leukocytes, enterocytes and phagocytes.
- Reduces metabolism.
- Promotes deep oxygen saturation of tissue.
- Reduces post-operative blood loss.
- Reduces the likelihood of blood transfusions.
- Reduces the risk of infection.
- Reduces wound drainage.
- Reduces hospital admission times.
- Ease of use and compliance with treatments.
- Improves patient satisfaction.
Thermotherapy promotes vasodilation and increases circulation in the injured area to support the lymphatic system and stimulate natural healing, while reducing pain and stiffness. Thermotherapy is used after the initial inflammation resulting from injury or surgery has begun to subside.
- Relieves pain.
- Reduces pain intensity.
- Significantly improves arterial blood flow.
- Improves flexibility.
- Reduces muscle stiffness.
- Increases ligament elasticity.
- Reduces ligament thickness
- Increases median nerve conduction velocity.
- Improves the consequences of disability
Contrast therapy alternately opens and compresses the vascular system, increasing blood flow to the injured area without causing additional edema (swelling). Contrast therapy also helps reduce nerve sensitivity to reduce pain.
- Increases peripheral arterial blood flow.
- Stimulates vasodilation and vasoconstriction.
- Reduces pain.
- Reduces edema.
- Produces significant fluctuations in subcutaneous tissue temperature.
- Improves knee function.
Intermittent dynamic compression therapy is used to exert pressure around the injured area, mechanically reducing the surface area conducive to fluid accumulation, increasing lymph flow, reducing swelling and improving tissue healing.
- Increases/accelerates lymphatic flow (optimizes lymphatic drainage).
- Increases arterial blood flow.
- Lowers venous pressure and reduces venous stasis.
- Improves tissue healing.
- Reduces post-traumatic edema.
- Reduces acute and subacute swelling caused by traumatic shock or surgery.
More efficient active compression
Game Ready active compression exerts much more effective pressure than cryotherapy alone. The Game Ready anatomical circumferential envelope covers the area to be treated and adapts to the shape of the body with pneumatic pressure, ensuring a better contact surface and therefore a more efficient cooling system. Thermal infrared images show that Game Ready offers faster, more efficient processing than other products.
