How it works

How the NICE1 works

One device, two jobs: a steady, chosen temperature, and selectable compression — run together, for the length of a session.

The mechanism

A held temperature, not a melting one

A basic ice pack or reservoir cooler starts cold and drifts warm as the ice melts — the temperature you get depends on how long ago you filled it. The NICE1 circulates water at one of five set temperatures, 42–58°F, and holds it there for the whole session. The argument is control and consistency, never more cold: the NICE1 itself only reaches 42°F.

Cold

Five settings, 42–58°F, held steady rather than starting cold and warming as ice melts.

Compression

Three pressure levels — 13, 26 or 39 mmHg — through the wrap matched to your body area.

Getting started

From enquiry to first use

  1. Submit an enquiry from any body-area page — no prescription needed.
  2. We call to confirm your wrap size, dates and delivery.
  3. The unit is delivered two days before your surgery date, tested and ready.
  4. One cup of water, choose a temperature and compression level, and start.

How it works — questions

How does the NICE1 stay cold without ice?

A built-in cooling unit circulates water at your chosen temperature, held steady the whole session — five settings between 42°F and 58°F. There is nothing to refill.

How does the compression work?

The same unit drives a wrap fitted to your body area, selectable across three pressure levels: 13, 26 or 39 mmHg.

Do I need a prescription?

No. The NICE1 does not require a physician’s prescription, unlike Game Ready.

How much water does it need?

One cup, once, for the whole rental. No ice, no refills.
