INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
k. To fine tune boot position and flexion, support boot heel with one hand and,
with the other, loosen Boot-Locking Mechanism roughly ¼ turn. Use both hands
to support and adjust boot to desired position. Tighten clamping mechanism
securely.
l. Perform a final check to ensure that the patient's heels are properly seated in
the heels of the boots and that there are no pressure points on the calf. The leg
must be centered in the boot to eliminate pressure on the peroneal nerve. Close
boot pad.
m. Place an Allen Safety Drape over each leg to permit continuous monitoring of
leg position during procedure.
n. Grasp and squeeze release handles and simultaneously move legs slowly to
desired height, maintaining leg symmetry.
o. Once lithotomy level has been achieved, check for pressure points and, if
necessary, make appropriate adjustments. Boot clamping mechanism can be
manipulated through the drape. Patient leg position (symmetry) can be
documented using markings on ratcheting mechanism as guideline.
Note: Patient leg position symmetry can be documented using the leg length indicator
markings on the tube. The degree of lithotomy can be documented by using the
lithotomy Angle Indicator located on both sides of the release handle.
WARNING: Additional positioning devices should be used when using the stirrup
in Trendelenburg or reverse Trendelenburg.
