Cryocuff is a commercial system to supply cold water around a limb or joint to help reduce inflammation.

Cryocuff

Gravity feeds the cold solution into the cuff, and dropping the container to the floor empties it again.

The inflamed joint is irrigated with the cold fluid for 20 minute periods, with rests of an hour or more between treatments. The hope is that this will reduce swelling and inflammation, and allow some movement in the joint.
