What is VibraCool Easy Fit used for?
Tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, wrist strain, carpal tunnel discomfort, RSI, forearm pain, and post-surgical elbow or wrist recovery.
Why is it called Easy Fit?
The neoprene wrap uses a D-ring strap that lets you put it on with one hand. When one arm is already sore, that matters. You don't need someone to help you strap it on.
What makes Easy Fit different from the other VibraCool models?
Easy Fit is designed specifically for the elbow and wrist. The compact neoprene cuff fits snugly around these smaller joints. The Flex model covers larger areas like the shoulder, neck, and hip, while the Extended fits the knee and ankle.
Is VibraCool better than a TENS machine for elbow pain?
In an independent clinical trial, VibraCool outperformed TENS by 240--340% for musculoskeletal pain. It also uses mechanical vibration rather than electrical stimulation, making it safe for people with pacemakers and easier to use at home.
Can I use it after wrist or elbow surgery?
VibraCool is FDA 510(k) cleared for post-operative pain relief. Research found that vibration therapy after wrist fracture surgery improved both pain relief and hand function, with benefits lasting up to two months. Check with your surgeon or physio about timing for your specific procedure.
Is it safe with a pacemaker?
Yes. VibraCool uses mechanical vibration, not electrical stimulation. This is a key difference from TENS machines, which are not safe for pacemaker users.
How long do I use it for?
10--20 minutes per session. The M-Stim unit has a 10-minute auto shut-off. Use consistently for best results -- regular sessions improve blood flow and support ongoing recovery rather than just short-term relief.
