LEG (Versatile) SYSTEM - SQUID GO
£60.00
The Squid Go Leg Recovery System is a portable cold compression device scientifically designed for on the go recovery. Sequential Cold compression can be delivered to each of the muscle groups in the leg, including the calf, hamstrings and quadriceps, making the Squid Go Leg Recovery System highly flexible. The wrap fits both right and left legs.
Perfect for accelerating recovery, the Squid Go Leg Recovery System can be used for compression with and without the gel packs.

HOW DOES SQUID GO WORK?
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.
For athletes, Squid Go is an excellent recovery tool providing high efficacy cold therapy while driving metabolites such as lactic acid away from the treated muscle. This increases local circulation and gets you ready faster for more action!
* Except for the Shoulder Wrap, which does not benefit from sequential compression.
HOW LONG IS THE TREATMENT?
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.
HOW OFTEN CAN I USE SQUID GO?
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.
HOW IS SQUID GO DIFFERENT FROM OTHER COLD THERAPIES?
Squid Go 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 and ligaments, where it is most required. 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 and ligaments.
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, resulting in a significantly shorter treatment time. Increasing/encouraging compliance.
