Tips For Putting The Stockings On - OFA lastofa Manual Del Usuario

Donning tips
Put your stockings on immediately after get-
ting up in the morning while your legs are
still free from swellings. Do not pull up the
stocking at the border or top but smooth up-
wards from bottom to top with both hands.
To make putting on the stockings easier and
to prevent damage to the knitted fabric, it is
recommended household rubber gloves are
worn. Jewellery and long fi nger nails may
damage the stocking. Make sure to have
regular foot care and to wear sensible shoes.
Ask your specialist medical supplier for Ofa
Grip Special rubber gloves and for Ofa Fit
Magnide, the practical donning aid for com-
pression stockings with open and closed toe
from Ofa Bamberg. Ofa Fit Magnide is made
from particularly smooth canvas material and
allows the stocking to glide with ease over
the foot.
Donning instructions, open toe
1
Putting on your compres-
sion stockings with an
open toe is greatly sim-
plifi ed by using the Ofa
donning aid supplied. Slip
your foot into the donning
aid till the latter reaches
just above the heel.
2
Now pull up the stocking
till the heel is in the cor-
rect position. This is made
very easy with the Ofa
donning aid.
