Avoid swelling and hematoma from injuries or surgery

With the Hilotherapy cooling method, it has become possible to cool the body in injured areas for hours or even days at a constant temperature. With long-term cooling, it is important that the tissue temperature does not fall below 15 degrees. If it is lower for a longer period of time, damage can be caused to the skin, tissue and nerves and the lymphatic drainage necessary for healing is disrupted. The constant temperature means that even hours of cooling are perceived as pleasant by patients.

Swelling and hematomas are quickly reduced or can be completely prevented. The especially after acute injuries or operations. In addition, this method has a pain-reducing effect. Some cantonal hospitals and special clinics use Hilotherm as a standard cooling method. It is applied immediately after surgery and then remains with the patient for at least 18 hours. The very simple operation and automatic mode of operation gives the clinics not only enthusiastic patients but also a reduction in the workload of the nursing staff and, ultimately, substantial cost savings compared with conventional cooling agents such as ice, cold bags or quark compresses.
