Operating Instructions
Applying the Knee Ice Pack Wrap:
- Position the gel pack over your knee, ensuring it covers the desired area.
- Wrap the two long adjustable straps around your leg, securing them with the hook-and-loop fasteners.
- Secure the Y-shaped strap under the knee, attaching its ends to the long straps for a 360° full wrap and a secure, non-slip fit.
- Adjust all straps to achieve comfortable compression without restricting circulation.

Dual-Sided Comfort:
The NEWGO Knee Ice Pack Wrap features two distinct sides for varied therapy intensity:
- Silky Nylon Side: Provides deeper cold or heat penetration for more intense therapy.
- Soft Plush Side: Gently diffuses cold or heat, ideal for sensitive skin or early post-surgery use, preventing direct skin contact and potential ice burn.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the surface of the gel pack with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not submerge in water. Air dry completely before storing.
- Storage: Store the gel pack in the provided bag or a clean, dry place when not in use. It can be stored in the freezer for ready cold therapy.
- Durability: The nylon and plush materials are designed for repeated use. Avoid sharp objects that could puncture the gel pack.
Troubleshooting
- Pack is too cold/hot: Use the soft plush side against your skin or place a thin towel between the pack and your skin.
- Pack does not stay in place: Ensure all three straps (two long, one Y-shaped) are securely fastened and adjusted for a snug fit. The Y-strap is crucial for stability.
- Gel is stiff after freezing: The advanced gel is designed to remain pliable. If it feels too stiff, allow it to sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before application.
