A friend loaned her ice machine to me and then purchased one on Amazon. Best investment ever. I think surgeons should just add 200.00 dollars to their fee and send you home with one.

I totally agree!! It is so so helpful

@marytesta3003 3 месяца назад

@@dr.samanthasmith It truthfully was better than pain meds. It was relaxing and soothing.

We had a leftover wheeled walker (with a seat) that made it easy to hold and move the ice machine for both my husband (LTKR Nov 23) and me (RTKR Feb24). A movable platform. Easy to move from room to room or next to sink to empty and refill.

The hospital gave me an ice machine (Breg) to take home. Stayed cold all night. I only used for 2 weeks.

You are my WWW doctor. Thanks for all the info.

You are so welcome

On my first knee replacement in December I had an ice machine that my doctor let me use. It also provided compression. The next knee I will probably just get the regular ice machine.

@richberenson537 Месяц назад

Dr Sam Smith - Thanks for the video on ice machines vs Ice wrap. You did not mention ice machines that can provide compression. What are your thoughts on this topic?

@dr.samanthasmith Месяц назад

If you can find an affordable one, I love the compression cooling wraps. The only issue is the incision during the first few weeks might be sensitive to the compression.

The hospital sent one home with me however I haven’t been able to figure out how to use it? It’s not cold on the sleeve when I turn it on.

If it’s the polar active ice, you can call their customer service for help

Is there an ice pack you would recommend that is a little less bulky that can be used for travel?

@dr.samanthasmith 3 месяца назад

This is a good one! It’s a little smaller. It stays really cold too. You can use code DRSAM10 for 10% off. www.polarproducts.com/polarshop/pc/Soft-Ice-Deluxe-Knee-Wrap-p146.htm
