The aim of this study was to develop a cooling device that could be used without hindering the activities of patients in the early postoperative period, and to verify its safety and efficacy by establishing a 14-day postoperative cooling protocol. In a preliminary study involving healthy adults, the safety and cooling efficacy of the new cooling device were confirmed to be satisfactory. Based on these findings, the present clinical trial was conducted to evaluate the device in patients who had undergone TKA.
