Rent the NICE1 · Hip
Cold therapy for hip replacement recovery, no ice required
Icing a hip is awkward. The joint sits deep, ice bags slide off, and after a hip replacement you're not supposed to be twisting around to reposition them. The NICE1 pairs a contoured hip wrap with steady, circulating cold and gentle compression, you set the temperature once and it holds, even overnight.

Recovery
What to expect
- Swelling after hip replacement often extends down the thigh, and managing it early tends to make walking and physiotherapy more comfortable.
- Your surgical team will give you movement precautions in the early weeks. A wrap-based system means cold therapy without repositioning yourself around ice bags.
- Cold therapy after physiotherapy sessions can help you manage soreness between appointments.
- Follow your surgeon's plan for how often and how long to use cold therapy.
General information, not medical advice. Your surgeon's plan always comes first.
Where the NICE1 fits
Control, not chores
- A hip-specific wrap (Hip Universal, S/M or L/XL) holds cold and compression against a joint that ice bags struggle to reach.
- Five temperature levels from 42°F to 58°F, held steady, no drift as the session goes on.
- Three compression settings: 13, 26 or 39 mmHg.
- One cup of water for the entire recovery, and at 9 lbs the unit is easy to keep beside the bed or chair.

Common questions
How do you ice a hip after replacement surgery?
With difficulty, if you're using ice bags, the joint is deep and bags don't stay put. A circulating cold-therapy wrap like the NICE1's Hip Universal holds cold and gentle compression against the joint without you needing to hold anything in place.
How long do people rent for after hip surgery?
Rentals bill in 2-week increments. Start with what your surgeon recommends for cold therapy; extensions are available per physician medical necessity.
Can it run while I sleep?
Yes, overnight use is supported. The temperature stays where you set it, between 42°F and 58°F, for the whole session.
Do I need a prescription?
No, a prescription is not required to rent. If you have one, there's an optional place for it on the form, and we can walk you through WCB or insurance questions when we call.
