FAQs
How long does it take to freeze the gel sleeve?
The FOMI Foot Hot & Cold Gel Sleeve typically freezes in about 2 hours.
Can I use this sleeve on my ankle or heel specifically?
Yes, the flexible gel conforms to the foot, allowing targeted application on areas like the ankle and heel for comfort and therapy.
How should I clean the gel sleeve?
Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or submerging the entire sleeve in water.
What is the benefit of 360° compression therapy?
The 360° compression helps to evenly distribute pressure around the entire foot, which can aid in reducing swelling and providing support.
Can I use this sleeve if I have diabetes or poor circulation?
If you have diabetes or poor circulation, it is recommended to consult with your healthcare provider before using hot or cold therapy products.
Is the gel inside the sleeve safe if it accidentally leaks?
The gel is generally non-toxic, but you should avoid ingestion and clean up any leaks immediately. If the sleeve leaks, discontinue use.
Can I use this sleeve while walking?
It is not recommended to walk with the frozen or hot sleeve on, as it may affect balance and potentially damage the sleeve. It is best used while resting.
Troubleshooting
Gel not freezing adequately.
Ensure the sleeve is placed flat in a cold freezer environment and has been in for the recommended 2 hours. Check that your freezer is functioning at the optimal temperature.
Sleeve is too stiff when frozen.
The gel is designed to remain somewhat pliable even when frozen. If it is rock hard, it may have frozen for too long or at too low a temperature. Allow it to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before applying.
Leaking gel.
Inspect the sleeve for any tears or punctures. If a leak is detected, discontinue use immediately to prevent mess and potential safety hazards. Contact customer support if within warranty.
Not providing enough heat/cold.
For cold, ensure it's fully frozen. For heat, ensure it's warmed sufficiently according to care instructions. For both, make sure the sleeve is applied snugly to the foot for optimal thermal transfer.
