Care instructions

The garment can be machine
washed using a gentle cycle and
dried on a low heat setting. If doing
so, it is recommended that you
place the garment in a pillow case
to aid in keeping the hook and loop
tab lint-free and to protect other
clothing from getting damaged. To
extend the life of the garment,
hand wash and drip dry.

Wearing recommendation
Slightly loosen the bands of the
garment for night-time wear.
If experiencing any pain, or
discomfort, reduce the
compression (mmHg) applied or
remove device. Inform your
clinician of your action.
When bands are placed correctly
they should slightly overlap,
leaving no space between bands.
Do not tuck bands. Hook tabs
should never touch the skin!
Individualisation
The ankle foot wrap is not
designed to be cut or modified
except as outlined in the
directions for use.
Doing so other than instructed
will void the warranty.
Be careful that the reinforced
seam within the hook material
is not cut while shortening the afw.
The circaid customizable
interlocking ankle foot wrap can
be tailored to fit the patient´s
foot size and contour.
The ankle foot wrap should be
fitted by a medical professional.
Donning instructions
Step 1: Apply a circaid sock first.
Ensure that there are no wrinkles
in the sock. (1)
Step 2: Identify the two
interlocking heel bands. (2a)
Fasten the interlocking heel
bands by sliding the shorter band
through the hole in the other and
loosely securing them to the
outside of the AFW. (2b)
Step 3: Slide the foot in the AFW
so that the heel is securely placed
in the heel pocket. (3) Ensure that
the foot is properly positioned.
The AFW may need to be pulled
forward to ensure a proper fit.
Step 4: Unroll the foot band
closest to the toes to the
opposite side of the foot wrap
and trim to desired length. Then
secure it with firm and
comfortable compression using
one of the included hook tabs.
(4a) Repeat with the second foot
band. (4b) Adjust the interlocking
heel bands so that they fit snugly
around the back of the heel.
Step 5: Take the long ankle strap
and pull it across the front of the
foot. Wrap it around the ankle
and trim to the desired length
before securing it using one of
the included hook tabs. (5a-b)
Ensure that there are no gaps.
