Soft Knee: Directions for Use
- Place cloth wrap and gel pack(s) in freezer.
- Allow unit a minimum of two hours in freezer.
- Remove knee wrap and one insert from the freezer.
- If not already installed, place the gel pack inside the wrap by detaching the velcro fasteners and sliding the gel pack in between the two pieces of material.
- With the opening facing up, place the center of the wrap over the patella (knee cap).
- Wrap the latex-free elastic straps around the back of the leg and bring back around to contact anywhere on the "fuzzy" material.
- Apply only soft compression.
- If icing against the skin, remove after 20 minutes, or as directed by your medical practitioner.
- If icing over a post-operative dressing, leave wrap on for two hours, or as directed by your medical practitioner.
- If continuous icing is desired, have one gel-pack in the freezer and one gel pack inside the wrap on your knee.
- Rotate inserts, one on, and one in the freezer, every two hours, or as directed by your medical practitioner.
