Overview: When to Use the IceMan
The DJO DonJoy IceMan Clear3 Cold Therapy Unit simplifies and speeds up rehabilitation and recovery following hip, knee, or shoulder surgery. The Clear Cube Cooler connects with ergonomic wraps to deliver targeted cold therapy to reduce pain and swelling for tissue repair to begin.
The IceMan provides extended cold therapy over the entire joint without continually replacing cold packs that don't stay cold and often don't completely cover the affected area. Setting up and refilling the DonJoy IceMan Clear Cube is a breeze, and with a see-through clear cooler, the ice level is always in view to know when it's time to refill.
IceMan Recirculation Technology Advantage
The IceMan Clear 3 features dual pump recirculation technology that ensures the water consistently flows and remixed with the cooler's ice water. This eliminates warm water within the pad for evenly distributed cold water throughout the pad. The hose won't restrict flow for another level of consistent cold therapy along the entire joint.

Cold/Wrap-On Pad Options
DonJoy Cold and Wrap-On Pads are compatible with the IceMan Clear3 and CLASSIC3 ice machine. The pads are structured to mold to specific joints such as the ankle, knee, and shoulder, or choose the universal wrap to reduce the number of pads needed when nursing several injuries. The most popular wrap in the IceMan line is the DonJoy IceMan Clear 3 Shoulder Pad (11-1635).
- Wrap-On Pads - have a dark grey non-sterile pad with engageable hook material. This allows the stretchable wrap to attach to the pad once secured around the affected joint. Choose from regular 6-1/2 and extended 15-inch hose.
- Universal Cold Pad - is light grey with sterile and non-sterile options. Choose a regular 6-1/2 hose or the extended 15-inch hose.
