These instructions provide important information for the safe use and maintenance
of all Bodypoint Ankle Huggers. Give these instructions to the user or their caregiver
and review them to ensure that they are understood.
WARNING! Product should be installed and
fitted by a qualified rehab technician.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN: Ankle Huggers should
only be used on persons wearing a properly fitted
hip belt. Although Ankle Huggers can be installed
on any type of foot support, consider the user's
positioning needs before installing them on
flip-away footplates. Ankle Huggers should be
fitted and worn over everyday footwear - heavily
padded shoes and orthotic devices can interfere
with their proper fit.
INTENDED USE
WARNING! This product should only be used
for positioning a person in a wheelchair. It is
NOT intended for use as a transportation safety

unsafe.
WARNING! As with any new seating support,
this product may change the way a person sits.
Users must continue to practice regular pressure
relief activities and skin integrity checks, not

redness or irritation occurs, discontinue use
and consult your physician or seating specialist.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury, such
as pressure ulcers.
