How long should I wear the geko® device for leg ulcer healing?

  • Each geko® device will provide you with 2 days treatment and should be worn for 12-hours per day. Treatment can be paused and the device may be removed for short periods of time (up to 3 hours in total) when washing, driving or having various tests.
  • The geko® device should be removed between treatments and stored on the backing card provided. It is important that you do not leave the device on your skin during your 12-hour break as this gives your skin time to breathe in between treatments.
  • A minimum of 6-hour break between each 12-hour treatment is required, should you try to start the device too soon, the device will give a single long flash (0.5s) and will not stimulate.
  • The device will switch off automatically after 12 hours. If you have paused the device, it will continue until it has completed the full 12 hour dose. You do not have to worry about counting the hours, it does it for you.
