Before you put the sock on, make sure your foot and ankle are clean and washed. We recommend applying conductive electrode gel (available in our store) around your ankle and right below your ankle bone to align with the placement of the two electrodes embedded in the sock.
Next, attach the control unit to the sock. Ensure the snaps line up in the correct direction and the unit is flush against the sock. Put on the sock as normal, making sure the toe and ankle area are lined up properly and pull the sock up taught.
Now, hold down the power button to turn on the unit. The initial output for the device is 0, or no output. You should see a green light, which indicates the battery is full. The light will then flash blue, which indicates test mode. Adjust the current level using the “+” and “-” buttons located on either side of the power button. until you feel a slight but steady current.
When the unit is set to the right level, the light will steadily flash green for the duration of the 30-minute therapy session.
Once the session is over, the unit will automatically shut down.
This 30 minute session is repeated once a week for a 12 week period.
What if I don’t feel anything when I wear the sock, even after adjusting the current?
Some people do not feel anything while the sock is in therapy mode, but that doesn’t mean the device isn’t working.We recommend using a conductive gel, and applying a liberal amount to your ankle and leg before each session.
When the device is in test mode, we recommend increasing the current to the maximum by continuing to press the “+” button until it reaches the maximum. At this level you should be able to feel the current and may need to lower it using the “-” button until you reach a comfortable level.

Is the Zida Control Sock safe?
The Zida Control Sock is an FDA-cleared Class II medical device for the treatment of symptoms associated with incontinence and overactive bladder. Clinical studies support its safety and effectiveness when used as directed. The device should not be used by individuals who are pregnant or who have a pacemaker. Always consult your healthcare provider before use.
What is the difference between the Zida Control Sock and other incontinence products?
Most incontinence products, like pads or briefs, only manage leaks after they happen. The Zida Control Sock works differently. It helps train the nerves that control your bladder so it doesn’t send signals to empty when it isn’t full.
Using patented embedded nano-electronics, the Zida Control Sock sends gentle signals through the tibial nerve, which runs from the ankle to the sacral nerves that help control bladder function. By stimulating the tibial nerve, the Zida Control Sock may reduce overactive bladder symptoms and help prevent unnecessary trips to the bathroom.
How do I know that the sock is in the right position?
Making sure the sock is in the right position is as easy as putting on a regular sock. Just make sure your foot is properly aligned so your toe and your ankle are firmly in the two blue areas on the sock. Learn more about positioning the Zida Control Sock and device,
What does the therapy feel like?
The therapy from the Zida Control Sock should feel like a slight tingling sensation. Some patients may experience an involuntary movement of the toes. If at any point during the treatment, you are feeling uncomfortable or the vibration is stronger or weaker than you would like, use the “+” and “-” to adjust the current to a more comfortable level.
Is this a safe way to receive treatment?
The Zida Control Sock is 100% safe with no serious side effects, completely non-invasive and FDA cleared for home use.
Can I drink alcohol while using the Zida treatment?
Do I have to reset the levels of the device every time I use it?
Will the Zida Control Sock perform at a higher level if I use the device on the highest setting?
If you can feel the therapy being delivered, it’s working properly. The most important thing is to set the device at a level that is most comfortable for you to remain at during the duration of the therapy (30 mins).
