The demo

How does the
Pulse One work?

The combination

Three modalities.
One machine.

Cold, heat and compression each have a place in a recovery protocol. The Pulse One is the first portable unit in Australia to deliver all three — actively, precisely, and anywhere.

0°C

Active Cold

Compressor-based cooling from 2–15°C — consistent, circulating cold without ice, slurries or freezer logistics. Set the temperature and the unit holds it to ±1°C.

0°C

Active Heat

Deep, controlled warmth from 30–45°C to support mobility and prepare the body for movement. Contrast switching between cold and heat is fully automated.

×6

Pneumatic Compression

Six pressure levels from 10–80 mmHg in continuous or intermittent modes, layered over cold or heat. Adjustable to the athlete, the body part and the moment.

Cold + heat + compression — simultaneously. That's the difference.

The Pulse One

Built for the sideline,
the clinic and the road.

Battery powered

No ice. Ever.

Traditional cold therapy means eskies, ice runs and meltwater. The Pulse One generates its own cold — plug-free and ice-free — so game day setup takes minutes, not hours.

At 7kg with onboard battery power, it moves from physio room to team bus to away sheds without a second thought.

Precision you can set.

Dial in an exact temperature from 2°C to 45°C and one of six compression levels. Every athlete, every session, every body part gets a repeatable, controlled protocol.

Travel-ready design for teams on the road — built with interstate and flight logistics in mind.

Questions

FAQ

Does it really need no ice at all?

Correct — the whole system is water-based. Just add water, set your temperature, and the Pulse One actively cools it down to 2°C or heats it up to 45°C on its own. No ice, no eskies, no freezer runs.

How long does the battery last?

The Pulse One runs for up to 1.5 hours of continuous use away from a power outlet — enough for a full post-session protocol courtside or in the sheds. Plug it in (100–240V AC) for all-day clinic use.

Can I use cold, heat and compression at the same time?

Yes — that's the whole point. Compression layers over either cold or heat in the same session, and you can switch between temperatures on the same wrap.

Can teams fly with it?

The Pulse One was designed with travelling teams in mind. We provide a dedicated Australia-specific travel guide covering airline and battery requirements — ask us for a copy.

Where are you based?

We're based on the Gold Coast, Queensland, with rental pickup from our Burleigh Heads warehouse. We deliver and support Australia-wide.

Can we trial before purchasing?

Yes. Our rental program ($130/week, 2-week minimum) is built exactly for that — run it with your squad or clients, then talk to us about ownership.
