How to Use the Game Ready knee Sleeve After Surgery
Many patients will have the knee sleeve placed by their care team immediately after surgery. If you need to put it on yourself at home, follow the steps below.
Step-by-Step Tutorial: Putting On the Game Ready Knee Sleeve
Prepare the Sleeve
Open the knee sleeve completely before placing it around your leg.
Position the Sleeve
Center the sleeve over your surgical knee, making sure it covers the front, sides, and back of the knee.
Secure the Straps
Fasten the straps snugly around your leg. The sleeve should feel secure but not too tight.
Adjust for Proper Fit
Make sure the sleeve stays in place and allows cold and compression to reach the knee evenly.
Wear Against the Skin
The sleeve is designed to be worn directly on the skin. If needed, you may wear a thin layer underneath, but avoid bulky clothing.
Once the sleeve is secured, connect it to the Game Ready control unit and begin your session.
When every step feels challenging, the right recovery support can make all the difference in helping you move forward with confidence.
Better recovery starts here
Cold Therapy – Circulates ice water to safely reduce pain and swelling.
Dual-Action Wraps – Contoured wraps cover more surface for deeper cooling.
Intermittent Compression – Squeezes and releases to reduce swelling and boost circulation.
Easy Controls – Pre-set programs let you quickly adjust settings.
Swelling control is everything after knee replacement
Targeted cold and compression help prevent fluid buildup that can limit movement and slow your progress.
Cooler. Faster. Better Recovery.
