1 Open all the straps and spread them apart (on the back). Fasten them temporarily
on themselves. Remove the padding inside the plastic boot and open it.
2 Put the padding on, so that the heel fits firmly at the back,
and close it with the Velcro ® (Fig. A).
3 Put the plastic boot on the leg from the bottom, spreading the plastic rods (Fig. B).
4 Position it so that the splint is vertical and centered on the ankle (Fig. C).
5 Close the Velcro straps, starting from those closest to the toes (Fig. D)
®
and moving upward (Fig. E).
6 Inflate the padding (Fig. F) and ensure comfortable fit by optimizing
the compression.
- To inflate: Insert the small pump (Fig. G) with the opening IN into the valve
and inject air by using the pump.
- To deflate: Insert the small pump with the opening OUT into the valve.
It is then possible to use the pump actively to pump the air out or leave it
in place and press on the padding until it is completely deflated.
The healthcare personnel assigned should teach the patient how to obtain
adherence, comfort and adequate compression, for when the boot is reapplied
later by the patient.
7 If necessary, use the additional padding supplied to adapt the splint
to the patient's leg (Fig. H).
Important: Remove the boot only when prescribed by the healthcare operator
(to remove the boot follow the above sequence in reverse).
