Celligen® CGC-400 Compression Recovery Boots – Full Leg Air Compression

What do compression boots actually do and what are the benefits?
Compression boots use inflatable air chambers to apply rhythmic, controlled pressure across the legs. Benefits include:
• Better Circulation: The wave-like squeezing pattern pushes blood and fluid back toward your heart.
• Less Soreness: They can help lower muscle pain (DOMS) 24 to 48 hours after a hard workout.
• Fluid Drainage: They move stagnant fluid and reduce lower-body swelling or heaviness.
• Relaxation: The gentle massage action helps tight leg muscles feel relaxed and refreshed.

How do compression boots work and how do you use them?
The four air chambers inflate and release in programmed sequences across the feet, calves and thighs. Simply put on the boots, switch on the detachable controller, select one of the five massage modes, choose a 15, 30 or 45-minute session and set a comfortable pressure. If you are new to compression, we recommend starting at a lower setting and increasing it gradually.

What does the pressure range mean?
Pressure is measured in mmHg and determines how firmly the air chambers compress the legs. The CGC-400 offers seven settings from 30 to 240 mmHg, allowing you to choose anything from gentle compression to a considerably firmer session. Higher pressure is not necessarily better - the best setting is the one that feels comfortable for you.

How long should I use the boots for?
The CGC-400 offers three preset session lengths: 15, 30 and 45 minutes. If you are new to compression boots, a 15-minute session at a comfortable pressure is a good place to start. You can then increase the session length as you become familiar with how the compression feels.

When should I use compression boots?
The CGC-400 can be incorporated into your routine whenever a compression massage feels useful — for example after training, following a busy or active day, or during a dedicated recovery session. Its rechargeable cordless design also makes it easy to use while relaxing at home or when travelling.

How do I deflate the boots after use?
The air will release from the valves where the detachable controllers connect. Detach the controllers for faster deflation. You can also squeeze the boots from the bottom upwards, making them ready to quickly pack away into the carry bag.

Are the Celligen compression boots safe?
The CGC-400 is designed for straightforward personal use when operated in accordance with the supplied instructions. Start with a comfortable pressure, ensure the boots are fitted correctly and stop using them if the compression becomes uncomfortable. Keep the controller and charging equipment dry, do not use damaged components, and always follow the safety and operating guidance supplied with the product.

What’s the difference between Celligen compression boots and the other big brands?
The CGC-400 has been designed to combine premium adjustability and portability at a competitive price. Key features include four-chamber compression, five massage modes, seven pressure levels, a particularly broad 30-240 mmHg range, a detachable controller, rechargeable cordless operation and an included carry bag. Different brands use different chamber layouts, pressure ranges and control systems, so we recommend comparing the features that matter most to you rather than pressure alone.

How do I clean and care for the Celligen compression boots?
Switch the system off before cleaning. Wipe the boots with a clean, lightly damp cloth and allow them to dry fully before storage; they should not be machine washed. Keep the controller and charging equipment dry, protect the boots from sharp objects, excessive heat and direct sunlight, and store the complete system in its carry bag when not in use.
