Active Ice® Systems - Cold Therapy Ice Machines

Unique Shape & Fit for every body part

Targeted Full-Coverage Cold Therapy

Targeted cold therapy pads wrap securely around your specific area of concern, with elastic and Velcro belts delivering steady, drug-free pain relief exactly where you need it. Available in body-part-specific designs for the knee, shoulder, hip, back, foot, ankle, elbow, hand, wrist, head, and more, plus universal pads that work anywhere. The insulated outer fabric directs maximum cold to the treatment area while providing gentle compression for comfortable, effective relief.

Active Ice® Systems circulate cold water continuously for hours, long enough to get you through the night on your doctor's recommended cycle of use. High-flow, dry, quick-disconnect couplings give you freedom of movement when you need it, and durable insulated tubing keeps water flowing smoothly without interruption. Unlike traditional ice packs that warm up and shift out of place, Active Ice® delivers steady, consistent cold all night long.

Full range cycle timer & temperature control

Personalized Cooling at Your Fingertips

Our patent-pending timer puts you in control of your recovery. Set custom cold therapy "on" and "off" duration cycles in 10-minute intervals up to 990 minutes per your healthcare provider's instructions. A critical safety feature built right into the system. Choose from 4 coldness levels based on your comfort, and rest easy knowing the convenient on/off button means no fumbling in the dark to plug or unplug your system. Whether you're recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or treating a sports injury, the Active Ice® System adapts to your needs and your schedule.

Ideal Balance of cooling capacity & convenience

Long-Lasting Cooling Power

One of the largest cooling reservoirs in the industry, available in a 9-quart or 16-quart size so you can choose the right amount of cold therapy time for your recovery. Both sizes are compatible with standard 500 ml frozen water bottles, a reusable, convenient alternative to ice. The 9-quart holds up to six bottles; the 16-quart holds up to twelve, twice the capacity of our biggest competitors. When your bottles thaw, simply swap in a fresh set from the freezer. No draining, no mess, no hassle, making it easier on you and on your caregivers too. The hinged lid snaps firmly in place, and you're ready to go again in minutes.

Engineered for Tranquility

Quiet Yet Powerful Performance

The whisper-quiet, high-efficiency pump continuously circulates cold water throughout the therapy pad, delivering consistent, effective relief without noise or interruption. Powerful enough to maintain steady cold flow for hours of treatment, yet quiet enough to run through the night without disturbing your sleep. Whether you're using your system during daily activity, resting on the couch, or recovering overnight, you can count on steady performance that stays out of your way and lets you focus on healing.
