On the day of delivery, DPD will text you with a delivery time window.

You can also collect the unit from our office in Duleek, Co. Meath, on the day you book. Collection must be confirmed with us first: call 041 213 6470 or mention it in the special requests box when you book. The office closes at 4pm, so please collect before then.

You get an extra day's rental free of charge when you collect the unit from our office, and another free day when you drop it back.

Yes, in many cases. An additional charge applies only where we have to pay DPD's surcharge for Saturday delivery. DPD don't deliver to every area on Saturdays, and Saturday delivery isn't guaranteed. If you pay the surcharge and your unit isn't delivered on the Saturday, we'll refund it.

Sometimes we can arrange for you to collect from our Duleek office at the weekend instead. This depends on our team's availability, and there is no extra charge.

Keep the box your Game Ready arrives in, as you'll use it to send the unit back.

1. Put all the items back into the Game Ready bag.
2. Take the prepaid An Post return label out of the hood of the machine.
3. Put the machine back into the box your rental arrived in. If you've thrown the box out, use another box big enough to hold the machine, as it needs to travel back well protected.
4. Stick the address label to the outside of the box.
5. Bring it to your post office, where they'll scan it in.

Keep your return receipt until you get our automated email confirming that your return has arrived at our office.

You'll need to get another box to send the unit back in. Choose a sturdy box big enough to hold the machine, and fill any gaps with padding so it travels back well protected. We can't supply a replacement box.

Then follow the usual return steps.

Late return fees apply to machines that aren't returned on time. The charges are set out in our terms of rental. If you need it for longer, extend your rental instead.

Yes. Most people are up and running within minutes. The rental includes a step-by-step guide, and our setup videos and wrap guides show you how to fit your wrap.

We recommend sessions of 30 minutes, with at least 1 hour between sessions. To get the full benefit, use it at least 4 times a day. Follow any specific guidance from your surgeon or physiotherapist.

No. Don't use Game Ready while you're asleep.

Call us on 041 213 6470. Our phones are answered from 9am to 5pm. Outside those hours, leave a message with your question. We do pick up messages and will call you back. You can also email gameready@platform20.ie.

Extend your rental online using the rental extension form, or the link in the email we send you as the end of your rental approaches. Each extra week costs €100. Please extend at least 24 hours before your return date.

Yes. Every wrap is professionally cleaned and disinfected after each use, and every rental comes with a brand-new sleeve.

The sleeve is the part that touches your skin, so a new one matters, especially after surgery. If you rent Game Ready from someone else, make sure they give you a new sleeve. We put a new sleeve on every rental.

You're responsible for the unit from delivery until it's returned. Damage beyond normal wear, or loss, may lead to repair or replacement charges. See our terms of rental for details.

Game Ready is a cold and compression therapy system that helps reduce pain and swelling after surgery or injury. It combines two proven treatments, cold and compression, in one wrap, using what Game Ready calls Active Compression and Cold (ACC) technology.

How it works

• The control unit is filled with ice and water. It pumps the cold water through the wrap and back again, so the cold stays constant for the whole session instead of warming up like an ice pack.
• Each wrap has two chambers: one for the circulating cold water and one for air. The wraps are shaped for each body part (knee, shoulder, hip, ankle and more), so the cold and pressure are spread evenly around the area.
• Cooling lowers the temperature of the tissue. This helps ease pain and limit swelling and inflammation after surgery or injury.
• Active compression means the air chamber inflates and deflates in a cycle, rather than applying constant pressure like a bandage. This gentle pumping is designed to mimic natural muscle contractions, helping move swelling away from the area. It also presses the cold closer to your body, so the cooling reaches deeper.
• You control the settings. You can adjust the temperature and choose the compression level, or turn compression off and use cold only, as your clinician advises.

How it relates to RICE

RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) is the standard first-aid approach to soft tissue injuries. Game Ready delivers the Ice and Compression parts together, at a controlled temperature and pressure, and far more consistently than an ice pack and bandage. For best results, keep resting and elevating the injured area during your sessions, and follow your surgeon or physiotherapist's advice.

It's used by people recovering from orthopaedic surgery (such as ACL reconstruction, total knee replacement, or shoulder, hip and ankle surgery), athletes with acute injuries, and people managing ongoing pain or swelling.
