Unlike ice-based systems
Unlike systems that rely on ice, NICE uses electronically controlled cooling to maintain a consistent therapeutic temperature throughout treatment, from the first minute to the last.

Common questions
What comes with a rental?
The NICE1 unit and the wrap matched to your body area, chosen from the 19-wrap range. We confirm sizing when we call you.
How is rental billed?
In 2-week increments, $43/day or $300/week (CAD). Minimum fees apply, and extensions are available per your physician’s medical necessity.
Can I buy one instead of renting?
Yes, the purchase price is $15,000 CAD. Most patients rent for the weeks recovery actually needs; purchase suits clinics and facilities. Ask us when we call.
Does it need special power or plumbing?
No, it plugs into a standard outlet and uses a single cup of ordinary water for your entire recovery.
Do I need a prescription to rent?
No. There’s an optional prescription field on the enquiry form; it never blocks your request.
