KNEE TEMPERATURES MEASURED IN VIVO AFTER ARTHROSCOPIC ACL RECONSTRUCTION FOLLOWED BY CRYOTHERAPY WITH GEL-PACKS OR COMPUTER CONTROLLED HEAT EXTRACTION
“The cooling impact following arthroscopic procedures is most noticeable during the first few hours of recovery. Advanced computer-controlled cryotherapy delivers more precise, consistent, and effective temperature management compared to traditional frozen gel packs, helping support optimized post-operative care.”

Our Takeaways

  • Advanced ORX Healthcare cryotherapy achieved more effective cooling across multiple tissue layers compared to traditional gel-pack therapy.
  • Clinical observations showed significantly lower temperatures at the skin and subcutaneous tissue levels during treatment.
  • The system also demonstrated enhanced deep-tissue cooling within the knee joint, supporting more precise temperature management.
