KNEE COLD COMPRESSION SYSTEM - SQUID GO

Squid Go operates by combining sequential compression with cold therapy. Each Squid wrap was uniquely developed for a specific body part with a sequential compression bladder* designed to direct swelling away from the treated body part, while driving cold deep into the tissue. The combination of directional sequential compression and deep penetrating cold, may help in reducing oedema and pain while allowing better blood circulation in the treated area and reducing inflammation.

The duration of each treatment is 15 minutes and is controlled by the Squid Go pump control unit. At the end of each treatment the pump will sound a short beep and turn off.

When used with a cold gel pack, Squid Go should not be applied to treat the same location more than once an hour to avoid risk of frostbite. When used without a gel pack (compression only) use as needed. Squid Go should be used over clothing or over the cloth barrier sleeve provided with the Elbow, Knee, Leg, and Wrist systems.

Squid Go is the only system available that combines intermittent sequential compression with cold therapy. Regular cold gel packs and ice water circulators are less effective since the vascular blood vessels system, located under the skin layer, carries the cold away from the treated site. This results in superficial cold treatment and less penetration into muscles, ligaments and bones, where it is needed most. In order to drive cold deep into the tissue, Squid Go applies intermittent sequential compression, temporarily reducing venous blood flow, and allowing the cold to penetrate through the skin, deep into the muscles, ligaments and bones. Increasing compliance and frequency of use.

In addition, the Squid gel pack can be frozen to -18°C while maintaining its elasticity, thereby delivering significantly lower temperature compared to ice water circulators. This results in a significantly shorter treatment time of 15 minutes. Increasing compliance.
