What's Different About The Squid?

With the Squid beginning to be the centre of conversation within the medical world, the main question we (SPORTTAPE) are asked when showing medical teams is;

So what is different about the Squid?

It's fairly simple really; it is the worlds smallest, most portable sequential ice compression device. Rather than using water, the Squid uses frozen gel packs to provide cold deep into the muscle. Straight out of the freezer the Squid gel packs reach a pretty chilly temperature of -18 degrees! So there is no doubt that the cold will be driving deep for the full 15 minute treatment.

Now along with the temperature reaching -18 degrees, the Squid wraps provide sequential compression meaning that the wraps can be used for both recovery and injury treatment! These wraps have individual air chambers which inflate distally to proximally allowing for a continuous 'pump' to help the muscles recover.

The Squid unit itself is by far the smallest on the market, weighing just 1.2kg it is perfect for travelling and with a battery life of 50 treatments to a full charge it is great for tough weekend training camps!

 

The Squid Compression's first week is a success!

The Squid Compression Device has gone off with a bang! In just one week we (SPORTTAPE LTD) have had athletes across a range of sports asking to trial the device and the feedback has been impressive!

Initially we sent the devices off to the Welsh Rugby Union for their Autumn series, and we were delighted to hear the feedback that Craig Ranson, one of the squad physio's gave us.

"The Squid ticks all the boxes. High quality construction, compact, simple to use, and effectively delivers cold and compression to all major body parts"

Since then we (SPORTTAPE LTD) have sent a trial unit to Jacques Burger, the Saracens and Namibia flanker, who sent us in this pretty awesome picture of him using it! 

If you fancy giving the Squid device a go we (SPORTTAPE LTD) have a 14 day no quibble return policy and with a pre-order price from just £499 so get in touch now!
