Use low compression immediately after surgery until sutures have set, usually a full week. Again- refer to your physician, but after the first-week switch to medium or high, whatever feels better to you. How do I get the water out of the wrap? With the unit powered down and the wrap still connected to the machine, raise it in the air above the machine and squeeze. The water will drain from the wrap back into the reservoir. The hose has one-way valves on either end, so water will not drain if the hose is not attached to the machine. Remember it is not necessary to drain the wrap after every use. How much ice? Nothing is colder than ice. For best pain relief, it's important to keep the ice and temperatures in the low 30-degree range. You can use crushed or bagged ice. What is the best way to keep the cool the water for cold therapy? The best way to keep your water cold during cold therapy is using in the Omni Ice Freeze Bags. These are the most cost effective cold therapy bag on the market and makes cold therapy significantly easier. We do not recommend freezing water bottles and placing them inside the cooler because the glue residue from the water bottle can build up inside the hose and damage the cold therapy unit. This will also void the manufacturer warranty due to the glue on the label impacting the operation of the cooler. Where is the skin barrier? Some cold machines require a skin barrier to protect against frostbite. We anticipated this and built the barrier into our wrap- it is specifically designed to provide the best pain relief levels without endangering the skin. Even though there is a built-in barrier, DO NOT put it directly on your skin. You still need to have a barrier for your protection. Is it running? We designed this to be extremely quiet. It also may take several pumping cycles to feel the full effect at low compression. If you are worried it's not working- put your hand on the machine and count 30. You should feel it vibrate intermittently, which means it is pumping. Always make sure there is enough water in the reservoir as well. If you feel no vibration and the screen won't light, call us. How do I clean the unit properly? Gently wipe the external surfaces and reservoir interior with Lysol wipes or a similar product. Take care of the hook portion of the wrap, keeping it clear of lint or pet hair for the longest use. If you will be storing unit for more than a week, wipe down, dry with a towel removing as much water as you can. Store flat to avoid pooling in one location of the wrap.
