Step 2:
Slide the enclosed circaid undersleeve or
undersock onto the leg up to the knee
(for lower leggings) or to the groin (for
upper leg and whole leg).
The undersleeve may be trimmed in
length if desired.
If a knee and/or upper leg component
will be applied it is not recommended to
trim the undersleeve until these
components have been fitted over the
undersleeve to determine the excess
length.
Step 3:
Align the garment just above the ankle
bone and below
the knee crease. The black side of the
material should face the skin.
Unroll the top two bands and loosely
secure them to the outside of the
garment to anchor it in place. This
enables you to easily raise or lower the
garment for correct positioning.
Step 4:
Unroll the bottom two bands and secure
the bottom most band to the outside of
the garment to a firm and comfortable
compression level.
Step 5:
While holding the second band, detach
the next band. Secure the second band
and continue this process with the other
bands, going up the leg.
Ensure that the bands are placed in an
alternating order.
Step 6:
Once all bands are secured, inspect the
garment for any gaps or creases. Adjust
the bands as necessary.
If parts of the leg require additional
support or a gap exists, use the provided
shelf strap as needed.
Note:
If no reduction kit knee component or
upper leg component are being worn,
you may fold the top and bottom part of
the circaid undersleeve over the top and
bottom edge of the circaid compression
garment.
Step 7:
Apply an appropriate foot compression
garment as needed. If using another
circaid garment, please refer to the
specific product instructions included in
its packaging.
Doffing instructions
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-Tension System
(BTS)
Note:
Bands should be pulled to a firm but
comfortable tension to provide
therapeutic compression within the
tolerance level of the patient.
Step 1:
Starting with the bottom band, line up
the black triangle on the card with one
of the BTS lines on the bottom band.
Step 2:
Note where the second BTS line lines up
with the card´s compression ranges.
Step 3:
If the BTS line on the garment either falls
short or goes beyond the desired
compression range, readjust the band as
necessary so that the second BTS line on
the garment is aligned with the desired
compression range. Completely loosen
