STEP 5 once the bottom band has been adjusted to the correct tension, the patient
should repeat this step using the second set of guidelines located on the front of the
second band from the bottom. Be sure the patient uses the same edge
of the card and that the patient sets it to the same tension as the bottom
band. once the second band has been adjusted to the correct tension,
the patient should repeat this step for both the remaining bands, working
upwards. Ensure that the patient uses the same edge of the card and
tension setting as the other bands to assure gradient compression.
STEP 6 once the garment has been adjusted to the correct compression
level, ensure that there are no gaps between any of the bands of the
legging. Instruct the patient to roll the top part of the liner over the
top edge of the legging (Fig. o).
REMINDERS FOR THE PATIENT:
• The garment should feel firm and comfortable.
• The patient may readjust the bands as necessary throughout the day so that
all vertical guidelines are correctly matched to the appropriate pressure scale.
• Each set of vertical guidelines may be at a different location on the leg
depending on the size and shape of the leg. They do not need to be aligned
down the front center of the leg or in any other specific location on the leg.
• The Comfort Compression Anklet™ may be worn day and night, but if the
patient experiences discomfort when lying down, it should be removed.
• For improved comfort, the patient may slightly loosen the bands of the
legging for nighttime wear.

removal of the juxta-cures™ legging
To remove the Juxta-CURES™ legging, instruct the patient to detach the four bands
starting at the top band and working their way down, folding each band back onto
itself. It is important that none of the spine tabs be removed. If any portion of the spine
is accidently removed, the patient can simply reconnect it back in the same position.

If the patient is concerned with accidental spine tab removal, place the white velcro®
Stays along the edge of the spine where the patient feels the spine needs reinforcing
or trace the spine tabs with a permanent marker for easy re-application. After
removing the legging, the patient may slide the anklet and liner off the foot and leg.
follow-up visits
Remind the patient to bring the entire Juxta-CURES™ system to every follow-up
appointment for proper adjustment. At every follow-up visit with the patient, the
Juxta-CURES™ legging should be checked for necessary adjustments. Remove the
legging, take the patient's ankle and calf circumference measurements, and re-set the
spine of the legging if necessary (see steps 3-5 of the "Creating the Juxta-CURES™
Legging" section).
once the legging has been properly adjusted, re-apply the legging to the patient's
limb. Be sure to also check whether or not the patient should be using a different edge
of the Built-in Pressure System™ guide card as the appropriate range on the card may
have changed. Make the appropriate adjustments, if need be.
