1. COLD THERAPY:
Store the wrap in the freezer for a minimum of two (2) hours. It may be left in the freezer indefinitely until ready to use. It will remain flexible even at -20¡F. Remove the wrap prior to defrosting the freezer. Note: Always store products in a plastic bag while in freezer.
2. HEAT THERAPY:
*CAUTION: DO NOT OVERHEAT!! Due to the nature of the gel, it may only feel warm to the touch, but if the support roll has been overheated, too much heat may be transferred to the body and can cause burns. The most convenient method of heating the wrap is in a microwave oven. Please refer to the product specific heating times. Note: all microwaves vary in heating and may have hot spots. Be cautious when heating.
Product KW6001 Sm/Md Knee Wrap: 600-700 watt microwave 30-45 seconds. 1100 watt microwave 30 seconds Reheat Increment 15 seconds.
Product KW6005 Lg/Xlg Knee Wrap: 600-700 watt microwave 30-45 seconds. 1100 watt microwave 30 seconds Reheat Increment 15 seconds.
Wait one minute (60 seconds) before using. The wrap should feel WARM to the touch, NOT HOT. Hold the wrap firmly against the skin for 30 seconds before re-heating. If the wrap is not warm enough, heat according to the Reheat Increment below and rotate the product each time.
Follow the product specific heating times for your wattage of microwave. If after heating for the indicated time the product is still not warm, use the product specific Reheat Increment time to heat it up further. Do not increase these times beyond what is specified here. Failure to follow the heating times can result in burns and product failure.
The wrap can also be heated in a conventional oven at 250¡F for 10-15 minutes. Place wrap on a cookie sheet or baking dish in the center of the oven. Do no allow straps to touch the heating element. Flip the wrap after 6 minutes for even heating.
3. DO NOT GET THE PRODUCTS WET:
The gel will absorb water and swell. If the product becomes damp, lay it on a flat surface and allow it to fully air dry before continuing use. Do not use wet towels under the gel.
4. CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS:
Remove the outside cover and hand wash in cold water and mild soap. Hang up to dry. Wipe the white inner cover with a damp (not wet) cloth using mild soap or disinfectant. Allow the product to fully air dry before continuing to use.
