Game Ready shoulder wrap is applied in operating room and used in recovery room for 45 mins to 1 hour. Postop Day 1 and 2: the unit will be applied by the patient or a health care provider; as cold as comfortable (34°F; adjustable to 50°F); low compression setting; 30 min on:60 min off (use the pre-set auto program); use throughout the day; use at night as needed. Postop day 3-14 and onwards: 30 min on:60 min off (use the pre-set auto program); medium compression; as cold as comfortable (34°F; adjustable to 50°F); use minimum of twice/day. This will be combined with pain management medications, range of motion, and positioning exercises.
Ice is applied in operating room and used in recovery room for 45 mins to 1 hour. Postop Day 1 and 2: the ice will be applied by the patient or a health care provider; as cold as comfortable; 30 min on:60 min off; use throughout the day; use at night as needed.
