INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
9. To fine tune the Boot position and flexion, support the Boot heel with one hand
and, with the other hand, loosen Boot Locking Mechanism. Use both hands to
support and adjust Boot to desired position. Tighten clamping mechanism
securely.
10. Perform a final check to ensure that the patient's heels are properly seated in
the heels of the Boots and that there are no pressure points on the calf. The leg
must be centered in the Boot to eliminate pressure on the peroneal nerve.
Secure the pad. Over tightening the Velcro strap serves no clinical benefit and
can cause damage to the strap/pad. Gently secure the strap to the boot,
never pulling it at an angle.
11. Grasp and squeeze Release Handles and simultaneously move legs slowly to
desired height, maintaining leg symmetry.
12. Once lithotomy level has been achieved, check for pressure points and, if
necessary, make appropriate adjustments.
NOTE: Patient leg position symmetry can be documented using leg length
indicator markings on the Stirrup posts.
