Which Size Should I Choose?
The cuff is available in two different sizes. To find out which cuff size best suits you, simply measure the circumference of your forefoot (see diagram below for guidance) and refer to the table below:

Yes, the cuff is interchangeable meaning that you can use the cuff to treat injury to either your left or right foot.
How Do I Use the Cuff?
To use the cuff, follow these four simple steps below:
Step One: Prepare the Cooler
Start by connecting the blue tube to the cooler. Fill the cooler to the line with water and add ice to the top. Next, place the insulation disk on top of the ice and close the lid. Allow up to five minutes for the water to chill, shaking the cooler occasionally.
Step Two: Apply the Cuff
Undo the posterior strap and open the cuff so that it is flat. Position the cuff over the foot with the logo facing upwards and the disconnect valve pointing towards your toes. (See figure 1).
Wrap the ends of the cuff under the foot and secure using the straps provided. Now wrap the posterior strap around the back of the heel and secure. (See figure 2).
Step Three: Fill the Cuff
Connect the blue tube to the cuff and raise the cooler no more than 15 inches above the level of the cuff, allowing up to 15 seconds for the cuff to fill. (See figure 3).
Place the cooler on a stable surface, making sure that the base of the cooler is level with the cuff. Plug the cooler into a power supply and turn on by connecting the cord to the cooler lid.
Step Four: Refill the Cooler
To refill the cooler, disconnect the cooler from the power supply and repeat step one.

How Long Should I Use the Cuff for With Each Session?
You can use the cuff for up to two hours per therapy session. It is recommended that you leave a period of at least 20 minutes between each therapy session to allow for rest and recovery.
Protect Your Skin
You must protect your skin while using the cuff. To do so, we recommend that you wrap the skin of the affected area with a cloth, bandage or something similar to create a barrier between your skin and the cuff. This is to prevent you from contracting further injury such as skin burn while using the device.
How Do I Clean the Cuff and Cooler?
To keep the Cryo/Cuff and Cooler units clean between uses, simply was with soap and hot water before rinsing and leaving to air dry.
