This study aims to analyze and verify the utility of Icing system hold bands which were invented for use in the practice of Cryotherapy.
A survey was conducted to evaluate the perspective of both nurse and patient regarding hold bands. In particular, the utility of wearing the hold band was measured based on responses from 39 patients who had undergone shoulder arthroscopy. The cooling effects of the affected area was compared by comparing skin temperature with that of unaffected areas.
It was concluded that the use of the hold band is more effective in maintaining localized cooling skin temperatures during Cryotherapy. Furthermore, because it is easy to apply and remove it is also easy to observe or monitor. Therefore, our study suggests that the hold band helps to reduce patient suffering resulting from pressure caused by traditional methods. This allows for the cooling of the affected area without the added complication of inhibiting peripheral circulation.
