How to use
Wear rubber gloves with grip, to avoid damaging the sock.
Place the applicator on a secure surface at a comfortable height.
The oblong hole of the applicator faces you in a vertical position.
Making sure that the sock is not upside down, bring it into the applicator so that the heel of the sock is on the side of the oblong hole (1).
Spread the sock at the level of the elastic at the top and without making it wrinkle, place it on the upper edge of the and turn it up to let it slide along the outer side of the same (3).
The operation must proceed until the heel of the sock reaches, in the central area, the upper edge of the product, in correspondence with the oblong hole (4).
At this point you are ready to put on or have the sock put on.
How to put the sock on another person
The operation requires that the oblong hole of the applicator goes to correspond with the side of the calf of the wearer.
It is recommended that the person sit or lie down.
When applying an open toe stocking, special grip must be made around the applicator to prevent it from slipping out of position as you put your foot on.
Insert the foot into the toe of the sock until the heel matches the heel of the sock.
Once the heel is well positioned, loosen your hand grip and begin to draw the product up along the foot and leg (A).
The sock will then slide slowly along the applicator wall (B) to leave it completely once it is just below the knee, whatever the length of the sock.
Now the applicator can be removed.
In the case of a reference other than the knee-high, it will be you who will arrange the rest of the stocking, making the last positioning adjustments according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the same.
Check that the heel and toe are positioned correctly and that the sock is at the correct height.
How to wear the sock by yourself
Once the sock has been applied to the product, sit with your legs crossed and, leaving the product on the ground or holding it in your hand, insert your toe into the sock, blocking the heel of the sock with one hand (5).
Slide your foot until your heel coincides with that of the sock (6).
This will cause the bead to slide into the oblong hole (7).
As the product is pulled up along the foot and leg, the sock leaves the applicator to adhere to you (8).
In case you need to wear a longer sock than a knee-high, bring the product up to the base of the knee and remove the sock from the applicator which can then be pulled through the foot.
Slide the rest of the sock with your hands until it is positioned correctly on the leg.
The "Handles" accessory can be a valuable aid when carrying out the operation alone, especially for those who have difficulty maintaining balance or reaching their extremities (see next paragraph).
Wear by yourself using the handles
The "Handles" accessory is not mandatory, but it can be very useful.
After applying the sock to the product, insert the 2 black plastic guides in the lower raised edge of the product.
Once the guides have been inserted, place the handles on the ground in such a way as to easily collect them when putting on the sock.
Grasp the handles and place the product horizontally on the floor; put your foot inside the sock and pull slowly with the help of the handles (D).
By extending the leg fully and continuing to slowly pull the handles, the heel will be guided into the oblong hole (E) and the sock will be worn as described in the previous section.
In particular, after the heel has entered the oblong hole, it is possible to bend the knee by placing the applicator and then the foot on the floor.
To remove the handles it is necessary to widen the lever on the inner face of the applicator with one hand and push the guide out with the other.
PLEASE NOTE: the handle accessory fits all three applicator sizes.
How to apply compression cuffs
Wear rubber gloves with grip, to avoid damaging the cuff.
Place the applicator on a secure surface at a comfortable height.
The oblong hole of the applicator faces you in a vertical position.
When applying the cuff to the product, place the finger and thumb opening towards the bottom of the applicator (9).
It is necessary to pay attention to which arm will wear the bracelet to maintain the sense that the palm of the hand must match the long hole (F right hand) (G left hand).
Turn the upper end of the cuff over the applicator and pull it out in the curved part (10), to prevent it from slipping when the other hand is inserted into the cuff itself (11).
Slide hand and arm into the cuff and continue moving the product upwards (12).
It may be helpful to tighten the cuff flap that touches the palm of the hand (H), to prevent the cuff from misplacement on the arm.
This can be applied to cuffs without a glove or to tubular bandages.
