The shoulder has a rounded shape and a wide area around the joint. Standard ice packs can move out of position, provide uneven contact or require someone to hold them in place.

The NICE1 Total Shoulder Wrap is designed to fit around the shoulder joint, upper arm and shoulder-blade region. This provides more complete coverage than a small, flat ice pack.

You may initially need assistance applying the wrap, particularly if one arm is immobilised. Ask your healthcare professional how the wrap should be incorporated into your sling and rehabilitation instructions.

NICE1 circulates temperature-controlled water through the shoulder wrap. The machine has five fixed cold levels:

• Level 1: 14.4°C
• Level 2: 12.4°C
• Level 3: 10°C
• Level 4: 7.7°C
• Level 5: 5.5°C

The selected cold level is maintained throughout the session. Compression can be set to low, medium or high and delivered constantly or intermittently.

Always follow your surgeon’s advice about temperature, compression, session length and frequency.

People may consider a NICE1 shoulder rental following:

• Rotator cuff repair
• Total or reverse shoulder replacement
• Shoulder arthroscopy
• Labral repair
• Shoulder stabilisation surgery
• Biceps-tenodesis procedures
• Other shoulder procedures where cold therapy is recommended

NICE1 is an addition to your prescribed recovery plan. It does not replace medication, sling use, wound care, physiotherapy or movement restrictions.

People frequently search for an “ice machine after shoulder surgery.” NICE1 is an iceless cold therapy machine: it provides circulated cold water through a fitted wrap without needing to be repeatedly loaded with ice.

This can be particularly practical for a shoulder patient who may have only one hand available for everyday tasks.

The NICE1 touchscreen allows you to:

• Choose one of five cold levels
• Select the compression level
• Choose constant or intermittent compression
• Set a manual session from 5–40 minutes
• Select a preset programme
• Dim the display when required

Rapid Recovery provides instructions and support throughout the rental, but your clinical settings should come from your healthcare professional.

Access to the machine and shoulder wrap during the initial recovery period.

A longer rental for patients whose recovery plan includes cold therapy beyond the first two weeks.

1. Reserve before surgery

Booking 7–14 days before your procedure gives time to arrange delivery.

Confirm the required side and fit when booking. Rapid Recovery can help ensure the appropriate wrap configuration is supplied. Shoulder Wraps are specific to the left or right shoulder.

The wrap needs appropriate contact with the treatment area. Follow your surgeon’s instructions about removing or adjusting your sling during therapy.

Some patients may need assistance applying the shoulder wrap, especially during the early sling period.

No. NICE1 has an internal cooling system and does not require repeated ice refills.

The machine supports manual sessions from 5–40 minutes and preset programmes. Your healthcare professional should determine how you use it.
