Donning instructions for the liner:
• Place one hand in the liner and grab the heel of the liner with 2 fingers (Figure 1).
• Then turn the liner inside out to the point where the heel is being held (Figure 2).
• Pull the foot section over the foot until it is positioned over the forefoot (Figure 3).
• Pull the liner up around the heel. When doing so, ensure that the reinforced heel is correctly
positioned on your heel (Figure 4).
• Now pull the liner over your ankle and calf up to below the knee (Figure 5).
• If you have drawn the liner up too high, simply push it back down to the ankle and then pull it up
again using less force. Smooth out any wrinkles so that your stocking sits comfortably (Figure 6).
Donning instructions for the overstocking:
• Place your hand in the overstocking and grab the heel of the overstocking with two fingers
(Figure 7).
• Then turn the overstocking inside out to the point where the heel is being held (Figure 8).
• Pull the folded foot section over the foot until it is positioned over the forefoot (Figure 9).
• Now pull the overstocking up over the heel. Align the overstocking so that the inset stocking heel
is positioned precisely over your heel. For optimal comfort in the toe area, pull the end of the
liner forwards (Figure 10).
• Now pull the overstocking over your ankle and the calf up to below your knee and smooth out
any wrinkles that form (Figure 11).
• Smooth out the overstocking evenly with both hands, using massage-like strokes until the
stocking is free of any wrinkles to ensure that the pressure is evenly applied (Figure 12).
Washing instructions:
Wash the liner using a standard mild detergent without fabric softener at 60°C (up to 50 machine
washes) and the overstocking at 40°C (up to 50 machine washes). Lie flat to air dry. Do not wring
out and do not tumble dry. Do not bleach, do not iron, do not dry clean. We recommend washing
the liner after each dressing change. The liner can also be washed at 90°C in accordance with
Austrian guidelines.
