the band before reapplying it if too
much tension has been applied.
Note:
Record tension setting for each set of
markings so the patient can easily
repeat the process and ensure it is
donned to the same or higher tension.
Step 4:
Repeat the steps 1 - 3 for each band
going up the leg.
It is not required to have all bands set to
the same tension level. If more than one
level of tension is appropriate for
treatment, use the BTS card to identify
and record the appropriate tensions
levels.
Bands may need adjusting throughout
the day to maintain the desired
compression range as edema is reduced.

Donning the circaid reduction kit
shelf strap:
Step 1:
Apply the appropriate circaid
compression system as directed.
Step 2:
If using the reduction kit shelf strap, trim
the strap to the desired lengths or keep
as one long band, and secure hook tabs
to the strap ends.
Step 3:
If there is an overhang of oedematous
skin and additional support or coverage
is desired, use the shelf strap to wrap up
underneath the area in need, pulling up
and around the limb until firm and
comfortable compression is achieved
and secure to the circaid compression
system of choice.
Step 4:
If a gap between the bands occurs and
cannot be corrected by adjusting the
bands then cover the gap with the shelf
strap pulling to firm and comfortable
compression and securing the two hook
tabs to the circaid compression system
of choice.
Removing the circaid reduction kit
shelf straps:
Step 1: Detach the two hook tabs and
remove the shelf strap.
Note:
Do not tightly roll the hook tabs. This will
cause the tabs to curl and to no longer
lay flat while in use.
