Mode of Use/Application

Gather the Compression Liner in both hands, so that the toes can easily reach the end of the liner. Pull the Compression Liner onto the foot, aligning the heel of the Liner with the heel of the foot. Gently pull the Compression Liner up the leg, taking special care to ease it over the wound dressing. Pull it updwards towards the knee. Do not roll down or fold the top of the stocking. Smooth any wrinkles and adjust the heel and the toe of the Compression Liner for comfort. Now work it all the way to the knee about 2" (5cm) at a time, smoothing the creases as you go. Adjust any wrinkles or uncomfortable spots by gently pulling the fabric until the pressure is even.

Stocking with Zipper:
Open the zipper completely. Apply the Compression Liner as instructed above. Point your toes and slip your foot into the foot area. Place your thumb between the zipper and your leg to protect your skin. Zip it closed, keeping the elastic backing between your skin and the zipper. Adjust any wrinkles or uncomfortable spots by gently pulling the fabric until the pressure is even. Please note, when selecting the left or right closure (zipper), choose the side opposite to the wound.

Stocking without Zipper:
Apply the Compression Liner as instructed above. Starting with the garment inside out, tuck the foot portion inside up to the heel and hold it with both hands, seam facing down. Stretch your garment as wise as possible and in one motion, pull it onto your foot. Put the heel pocket over the back of your foot. Take hold of the fabric just past your toes always at the sides, never at the seems. Pull it up over your foot past the ankle. It should now be right side out. Adjust the garment so that the heel is in place. Adjust the toe area for comfort by pulling your garment towards your toes and releasing.
