Step 6: Once all bands are secured,
inspect the garment for any gaps or
creases. Adjust the bands as necessary.
Note:
Once the correct pressure is set using
the BPS card, you may fold the top and
bottom part of the circaid undersleeve
over the top and bottom edge of the
circaid juxtafit garment.
Donning the circaid compression
anklet
First fold the bottom part of the circaid
undersleeve over the bottom edge of the
circaid garment. Slide the circaid
compression anklet onto the foot and
ensure that it is pulled high enough so
that it overlaps with the circaid juxtafit
garment. Ensure that there are no
wrinkles in the anklet.
Doffing instructions
To remove the legging, first remove the
cover up, if using. Then remove the knee
cover, shelf straps, and/or foot
compression, if using any of these. Then
unfold the circaid undersleeve.
Detach all bands of the legging starting
with the top band. Fold each band onto
itself to keep the hook and loop tabs
lint-free.
Remove the legging and then remove
the circaid undersleeve or sock.
Using the Built-In-Pressure card:
Step 1: Locate the Built-In-Pressure card
in your packaging.
Step 2: Identify your prescribed pressure
scale using the color-coded system.
Step 3: Starting with the bottom band,
line up the black triangle on the card
with one of the BPS lines on the bottom
band.
Step 4: Note where the second BPS line
lines up with the card´s compression
ranges (A).
Step 5: If the BPS line on the garment
either falls short (B) or goes beyond the
correct compression range (C), readjust
the band as necessary so that the
second BPS line on the garment is
aligned with the prescribed compression
range (A). Completely loosen the band
before reapplying it if too much tension
has been applied.
Step 6: Repeat the steps 3 - 5 for each
band going up the leg.
Be sure to adjust all bands to the same
tension to ensure gradient compression.
Bands may need adjusting throughout
the day to maintain the prescribed
compression range as edema is reduced.
Note:
It is recommended that the limb is
always treated in its entirety with
medical compression.
This means that compression products
for the leg begin at the foot or the ankle
and extend up to below the hollow of
the knee or beyond to include the thigh.
