Recommend Game Ready and we take care of the rest: online booking, nationwide delivery, a brand-new sleeve, setup support and a prepaid return. No paperwork and no stock for your practice.
ISO 9001 certifiedExclusive authorised distributor in Ireland
You recommend Game Ready. We handle everything else, from booking and delivery to support and return. Patients can follow the same at-home protocol used in the 2024 shoulder trial.1
Give your patient your clinic code, or point them to gamereadyireland.ie.
Your patient chooses their wrap, rental period and start date, and pays by card. Rentals start at €300 for two weeks.
Nationwide courier delivery, a new single-use sleeve, setup videos and phone support throughout.
They pack it back in its original box with the prepaid An Post label from the machine's hood, so there's nothing for your practice to collect.
A clinic code lets us see which patients you've referred, and we can send you patient information leaflets to hand out.
Your patient's recovery reflects on your practice, so every rental is prepared to the same standard.
Every rental
Many rental services reuse the same sleeve from one patient to the next. We don't. Every Game Ready Ireland rental comes with a brand-new, single-use sleeve, so the part of the wrap that sits against your patient's skin, often over a surgical wound, has never been used by anyone else.
Certified
Our quality management system is certified to ISO 9001:2015 and audited every year, covering inspection and testing, traceability and delivery of every unit. Our 2026 audit was passed with no findings.
Between rentals
Every control unit and wrap is professionally cleaned, disinfected and checked before it goes to the next patient.
Patient data
Patients book and give consent online. Their health information is used only to manage the rental and is handled in line with GDPR.
From the recovery ward to the physio clinic.
Help patients manage pain and swelling from the first days after surgery, as part of an opioid-sparing recovery plan. In a 2024 multicentre randomised trial, shoulder surgery patients using Game Ready consumed half the opioids of patients on standard care.1 Similar reductions in opioid use have been reported after knee replacement, ACL reconstruction and spinal surgery.2, 3, 4, 8, 9
Control inflammation and oedema from the acute phase through to functional rehab, alongside manual therapy and exercise. Patients using Game Ready after shoulder surgery reported significantly better physical function at 2 weeks than those on standard care,1 and ACL patients had greater knee flexion at discharge.4
We supply the full Game Ready professional range in Ireland, with setup, training and servicing from our base in Co. Meath.
For clinics and hospitals
Cold, heat, rapid contrast and intermittent compression in one clinic-based system.
The Med4 Elite uses the same Game Ready wraps as the GRPro 2.1 and is available to buy through Game Ready Ireland. It is not available for home rental.

Game Ready has been studied after knee, hip, shoulder and spinal surgery, in randomised trials and comparative studies published in peer-reviewed journals.
Results vary by procedure, protocol and patient. Several studies are small or non-randomised, and some outcomes, such as pain scores, did not differ between groups in every study. Full references are listed below.
| Procedure | Study | Design | Key findings with Game Ready |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shoulder surgery | Khan et al., 20241 | Multicentre RCT, 200 patients | Median opioid use halved (56.1 vs 112 mg morphine equivalents, P = .025); better physical function at 2 weeks |
| Total knee arthroplasty | Su et al., 20122 | Multicentre RCT, 11 sites, 187 patients | Lower opioid use in the first 2 weeks (509 vs 680 mg morphine equivalents, P < .05); higher patient satisfaction (P < .0001) |
| Revision total knee arthroplasty | Murgier et al., 20177 | Case-control, 43 patients | Lower total blood loss (260 vs 465 mL, P < .05) and transfusion rate; less pain at rest on day 3 |
| ACL reconstruction | Waterman et al., 20123 | RCT, 36 patients | 83% off all pain medication at 6 weeks vs 28% with ice (P = .0008) |
| ACL reconstruction | Murgier & Cassard, 20144 | Case-control, 39 patients | Less tramadol (57.5 vs 128.6 mg, P = .023), no step 3 analgesics needed; greater knee flexion at discharge (90.5° vs 84.5°, P = .0015) |
| Hip arthroplasty | Leegwater et al., 20125 | Randomised pilot, 26 patients | Smaller post-operative haemoglobin drop and less leg swelling; patients would recommend it to others |
| Hip arthroscopy | Klaber et al., 20196 | Prospective comparative, 40 patients | Lower pain scores than ice (VAS 1 vs 2, P = .0028); 18 of 20 patients satisfied |
| Elective spinal surgery | Nabiyev et al., 20188 | Cohort with historical control, 40 patients | Lower tramadol (63 vs 393 mg, P < .0001), paracetamol and tenoxicam use |
| Paediatric scoliosis surgery | Bellon et al., 20199 | Prospective comparative study | Lower morphine use on days 1 and 3; shorter hospital stay (P = .004) |
A multicentre randomised controlled trial of the GRPro 2.1 with the ATX shoulder wrap, published in The American Journal of Sports Medicine in 2024.1
| Outcome | Game Ready | Standard care | P |
|---|---|---|---|
| Opioid use, median oral morphine mg equivalents | 56.1 | 112 | .025 |
| SF-36 physical function at 2 weeks, mean | 61.2 | 54.2 | .041 |
| Days to stop opioids, median | 4 | 6 | .15 |
| Adverse events (none device-related) | 2 | 4 | .44 |
Pain scores (NRS) did not differ between groups at any time point. The trial was unblinded and opioid use was self-reported in patient diaries; the authors call for further research to confirm the findings.1
