IMPORTANT NOTES FOR USE

  1. We recommend keeping the black zip-bag in which your Thermo Sleeve is delivered. This way, you have a practical storage bag where you can easily transport and cool your sleeve. For ideal storage, we recommend our Thermo Bag!
  2. Try not to let your Thermo Sleeves get wet.
  3. Everyone has a different perception. Even though we provide usage recommendations here, please listen to your own sense of warmth and cold, and heat/cool the sleeve so that it's comfortable for you.
  4. If you're unsure how the Thermo Sleeve should be best used in your case, it's always best to consult your doctor.

CLEANING

To clean your Thermo Sleeves, simply use a damp cloth, gently clean the surface, and then let the sleeves air dry.

Attention: Your sleeves must NOT go in the washing machine or dryer!

RECOMMENDED APPLICATION AREAS

Our Thermo Sleeves are designed for specific body regions depending on the model. The Ankle Sleeve is intended for the ankle, the Shoulder Sleeve for the shoulder, and the Full Leg Sleeve for the entire leg. These models are designed to adapt to the respective body region and can be used specifically there.

Additionally, there is the Short Sleeve, which is much more versatile. Depending on the body part and fit, it can be used on the elbow, wrist, or knee, for example. It's always important that the sleeve fits comfortably—not too tight or too loose—and adapts well to the desired body part.

Important: Avoid using if you have open wounds.

Heat and cold have opposite effects on tissue

Heat

  • The blood vessels dilate
  • Metabolic processes such as nutrient supply and defense mechanisms occur more quickly
  • The muscles relax

Cold

  • The blood vessels constrict
  • Metabolic processes slow down

How To: Cooling

Refrigerator
For cold application, the Thermo Sleeve shouldn't be too cold – an ideal temperature is 2–8 °C. It's best to place the sleeve in a resealable bag or another closed container in the refrigerator and cool it there for at least two hours. It can be stored in the refrigerator without any issues until you're ready to use it.


Freezer
If you're in a hurry, you can alternatively cool the sleeve in the freezer – but for a maximum of 20 minutes. It's important that the sleeve doesn't get too cold and the application remains comfortable. Tip: If you want to cool down right after training while on the go, simply take the Thermo Sleeve with you in a small cooler bag.
