  • Clinically proven to cut post-op swelling
  • Blood flow equal to 60% of walking — without moving
  • 10g, no wires, silent, comfortable enough to sleep in

The geko® T3 is a small, watch-sized device worn just below the knee that gently gets your circulation moving when you can't — so post-operative swelling has somewhere to go.

A gentle pulse, once every second, activates a nerve that runs close to the surface of your leg, making the calf and foot muscles squeeze and release — the body's natural muscle pump. The result is blood flow in the deep veins of the leg equal to 60% of walking, while you sit in a chair or rest in bed.

It's easy to live with: 10g, no wires, no charging and completely silent — discreet under clothing and comfortable enough to sleep in. Each device runs for up to 30 hours; peel it off and open a fresh one.

This 10-day therapy pack holds 10 devices — one fresh device a day, covering the window when swelling is at its worst (for most people it peaks around day six to eight).

CE marked. Designed and manufactured in the UK by Firstkind Ltd.

How to fit it

Peel the backing off, place the device just below the knee, and press the button once. This short video from the manufacturer walks through it — most people only need to watch it the first time.

Printed instructions come in every pack. If you're unsure about placement, your surgeon or physio can check it for you.

It gets your circulation moving when you can't

After an operation you can't walk swelling off — and walking is exactly what clears it. The geko does the job for you.

The mode of action, animated — from Firstkind, the geko's manufacturer.
1

Wear it just below the knee

Sits over the outside of the leg, below the kneecap. Peel, place, press the button. No wires, no charging, no set-up.

2

It pulses once a second

A gentle electrical pulse reaches a nerve running close to the surface. Most people describe a light tingle, then forget it's there.

3

Your calf pump moves the fluid

Calf and foot muscles squeeze and release — the same pump that shifts blood up your leg when you walk. The swelling gets somewhere to go.

Your 10-day course

Why ten days?

Swelling doesn't peak the day of your operation. For most people it climbs for the best part of a week and tops out around day six to eight. The pack is built to cover that whole window — one fresh device a day, right through the worst of it.

9

Days 1–5 · swelling climbing

Start as soon as you're home. This is when getting ahead of the fluid matters most.

Days 6–8 · the peak

Swelling is at its worst and the joint feels tightest.

Days 9–10

Coming back down.

Typical pattern only — your surgeon or physio will advise what's right for you.

"The hospital gave me stockings — why would I need this?"

They do different jobs. Stockings squeeze from the outside to stop fluid gathering. The geko works from the inside, actively pumping blood along. Plenty of people use both.

  • Is this for you?

    The geko is used before and after lower-limb surgery, and where swelling builds because someone can't move around much.

    • After a hip replacement, total or partial
    • After a knee replacement, total or partial
    • After foot and ankle surgery — bunion and forefoot operations, ankle fusion, ankle replacement
    • Waiting for surgery after an ankle fracture, where swelling has to come down first
    • When the leg swells because you can't move around much
    • Chronic venous insufficiency — leg veins that struggle to push blood back up
    • Reducing DVT risk where stockings or blood thinners aren't suitable

  • What arrives

    • A full ten-day course, one fresh device a day
    • Pre-charged, single use, up to 30 hours each
