Wearing recommendation
Always ensure that the correct
prescribed pressure range is being
applied.
Slightly loosen the bands of the garment
for night-time wear.
Each vertical BPS line on the bands 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.
If experiencing any pain, or discomfort,
reduce the compression (mmHg) applied
or remove device. Inform your clinician
of your action.
When the bands are positioned correctly
they should overlap slightly, leaving no
space between bands.
Do not tuck the bands in. The Velcro tabs
should never touch the skin!
Donning instructions
Step 1: Slide the circaid undersleeve onto
the leg so that it covers the entire leg up
to the groin. Ensure that there are no
wrinkles in the sock.
Note:
If using a juxtafit lower leg (not
included), apply the lower leg, before
donning the upper leg. Please refer to
the instructions included within your
juxtafit lower leg for instructions.
Step 2: Align the upper leg component
with the black side facing the skin and
the top of the component far enough
below the groin so as not to cause
iscomfort. (2) The curved edge of the top
of the component should go along he
lateral (outer) side of the leg. (3)
Step 3: Unroll the top two bands and
loosely secure them to the outside of the
component to anchor the component in
place. (4) This enables you to raise or
lower the component easily for correct
positioning.
Step 4: Unroll the bottom two bands and
secure the bottom most band to the
outside of the legging to a firm and
comfortable compression level (5).
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 (6-8)
Ensure that the bands are positioned in
an alternating order.
Step 6: The garment should lay flat and
wrinkle free against the leg. Adjust each
band to a firm and comfortable
compression level. See section "Using
the Built-in-Pressure System" for
instructions on using the BPS card to set
the compression to a prescribed level.
Step 7: Once all bands are secured,
inspect the garment for any gaps or
creases. Adjust the bands if necessary.
Step 8: Applying the knee cover: Place
the knee cover over the knee cap and
