Step 5: Take the BPS-card and
highlight the range that contains
the patient's ankle
circumference. If the patient's
measurement falls between two
ranges on the card, 30.5 cm for
example, choose the smaller
range.
Donning the circaid juxtacures:
Step 1: Slide the circaid
undersleeve onto the lower leg
and over the knee. The cuffed
edge of the undersleeve should
cover the heel. Ensure that there
are no wrinkles in the
undersleeve.
Step 2: Align the garment just
above the ankle bone and below
the knee crease. The black side of
the material should face the skin.
Unroll the top two bands and
loosely secure them to the
outside of the garment to anchor
the legging in place (5a). This
enables you to easily raise or
lower the garment for correct
positioning.
Note:
The bottom most band can be
identified by the circaid-logo on
the beige side of the material.
Step 3: Unroll the bottom two
bands and secure the bottom
most band to the outside of the
legging to a firm and comfortable
compression level (5b) (5c).
Step 4: 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
(5d).
Step 5: The garment should lay
flat and wrinkle-free against the
leg. Adjust each band to a firm
and comfortable compression
level. Ensure that the bands are
placed in an alternating order.
Step 6: Once all bands are
secured, inspect the garment for
any gaps or creases. Adjust the
bands as necessary.
The device should never hurt. If
any pain is experienced the
pressure can be reduced - if this
doesn't provide relief the device
can be removed and the
physician should be notified.
Note:
Once the correct pressure is set,
you may fold the top and bottom
part of the circaid undersleeve
over the top and bottom edge of
the circaid juxtacures garment.
Step 7: Donning the circaid
compression anklet
First fold the bottom part of the
circaid undersleeve over the
bottom edge of the circaid
garment. Slide the circaid
compression anklet onto the foot
and ensure that it is pulled high
enough so that it overlaps with
the circaid garment. Ensure that
there are no wrinkles in the
anklet.
Doffing the circaid juxtacures:
To remove the garment, remove
the circaid compression anklet
first. Then unfold the circaid
undersleeve. Detach all bands of
the legging starting with the top
band. Fold each band onto itself
to keep the Velcro tabs lint-free.
Remove the garment and then
remove the circaid undersleeve.
