How Do I Use the Cuff?
For a step-by-step guide about how to prepare, apply and use the cuff, please follow the instructions below:
Step One: Prepare the Cooler
Firstly, connect the blue tube to the cooler, filling the cooler to the line with water. Top with ice and place the insulating disc on top. Shut the lid of the cooler and allow up to five minutes for the water to cool.
Step Two: Apply the Cuff
Position the cuff on the thigh with the quick disconnect valve pointing downwards. Thread the straps through the white rings provided and tighten to your comfort to secure. (See figure 1).
Step Three: Fill the Cuff
Start by connecting the blue tube to the cuff. Open the air vent located on the lid of the cooler and raise the cooler approximately 15 inches above the height of the cuff. (See figure 2).
Hold the cooler in this position for around 30 seconds until the cuff is full. Close the air vent on the cooler lid and press the metal tab to release the cuff.
Step Four: Rechill Water
To rechill the water after use, start by reconnecting the blue tube to the cuff. Position the cooler below the cuff to allow the water to drain from the cuff, back into the cooler. Give up to two minutes for the water to chill before refilling the cuff.
For further information about the cuff and how to use it, please see the manual below:
Protect Your Skin
You must wrap the skin of the affected area with a cloth or bandage before using the cuff. This will create a bridge between the skin and the device and avoid risk of further injuries like skin burn. At no point while using the device should the skin and the cuff be in direct contact.
How Long Should I Keep the Cuff On?
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 uses to allow for rest and recovery.
How Do I Clean the Cuff?
To keep the cuff and cooler units clean, simply hand wash with soap and hot water after use before rinsing and leaving to air dry.
