The warm end
From 38 °C, over three levels.
Contrast Pulse
Warm or cold on the same strap, held at a set temperature for as long as the session runs. Three warm levels, three cold, and a contrast mode that alternates between them for you. It bends around an arm or a leg, or straps flat through the frame for a larger muscle. No ice, no water and no cord while it runs.

Highlights
Contrast mode
It holds warm, switches to cold and back again, on its own.
The cold end
Up to 15 °C, over three levels.
Arm or leg
It bends to the limb it is on.
No ice, no water
Both temperatures come from the two buttons on the device.
Straps and a frame
Wrap it, or strap it flat.
Warm one minute, cold the next
Three levels each way, and a contrast mode that alternates between them so you are not watching a clock.
Alternates38 to 47 °C
Three levels. Held steady for as long as the session runs, so it does not cool off the way a wheat pack does.
5 to 15 °C
Three levels, straight from the device. No ice, no water, nothing to refreeze between sessions.
Warm, then cold
The device alternates between the two on its own. That alternation is the whole point of contrast therapy, and it is the part that is tedious to do by hand.
It goes where the strap goes
An arm, a calf, a thigh. Three steps and then you sit with it.
- 1 Strap it onBend it around the limb and pull the strap snug. For a flatter muscle, run the strap through the frame instead so the device lies flat against it.
- 2 Pick warm, cold or contrastThree levels each way on the two buttons. Contrast alternates between them for you.
- 3 Sit with itIt runs off its own battery, so there is no cord to work around and nothing to plug in while you use it.
Contrast Pulse or Contrast X
Both run warm and cold. The X adds vibration and a red light, and is shaped for a joint rather than a limb.
Side by side
Same warranty, same contrast mode. What changes is where it goes and what else it does.

Questions, Answered
What does the Contrast Pulse actually do?
It holds a set temperature against the part of the body you strap it to. Warm runs from 38 to 47 °C over three levels, cold from 5 to 15 °C over three levels, and contrast mode alternates between the two on its own. Nothing is heated or chilled in advance: the device makes both temperatures itself.
What is the frame for?
A limb you can wrap, like an arm or a calf, only needs the strap. For something flatter, like a quad or a shoulder, you run the strap through the frame instead and the device sits flat against the muscle rather than trying to bend around it.
Do I need ice or water?
No. Both temperatures come from the device, and it runs off its own battery, so there is nothing to freeze beforehand and nothing to plug in while you use it.
How long should a session be?
Start short, around ten minutes, at the middle level. Build up from there once you know how it feels on you. The battery gives you an hour or more per charge.
What is the difference between this and the Contrast X?
The Pulse is warm and cold only, and it bends around an arm or a leg. The Contrast X adds vibration and a 660 nm red light, and is shaped to sit on a shoulder or a knee. The comparison above sets the two out side by side.
Is there anyone who should not use it?
Yes. Do not use it over broken skin, an open wound, a rash or an infection, or anywhere you have reduced sensation and cannot feel temperature properly. Check with your doctor or physio first if you are pregnant, diabetic, have a circulatory or nerve condition, or are recovering from surgery. Not suitable for anyone under 18, and never use it while asleep.
How do I clean it?
Wipe the shell and the contact face with a slightly damp cloth and let it dry fully. The straps can be hand washed and air dried. Do not put any part of it under water.
What is the warranty, and can I return it?
One year from the day it is delivered. Returns are 30 days from delivery, unused and in the original packaging, with return shipping paid by you. Delivery is free anywhere in New Zealand, and technical support is for the life of the product.
