THIS PACKAGE INCLUDES:
CARE AND MAINTENANCE

DOnninG
STEP 1. Slide the Comfort Knee-High Sock™ onto the leg and over the knee.
STEP 2. Apply the enclosed Comfort EZ Single-Band Ankle-Foot Wrap™ according to its included
directions for use.
STEP 3. Lay the garment out at with the bands’ hook tabs folded back onto the bands. Position
the garment so that the neoprene spine runs along the back of the leg, with the smooth side
of the black spine facing the skin. The bottom edge of the garment should be just above the
prominent points of the ankle bone.
STEP 4. If the top edge of the legging is closer than 1.3 cm or 0.5 inches to the knee crease, the
bottom band of the legging can be cut o to shorten the garment. This is to prevent irritation
to the back of the knee. Please refer to the ‘alTeRaTiOns’ section for further information on
adjusting the length.
STEP 5. Disengage the top two bands, pull
them towards the front of the leg and feed one
band through the hole in the other band.
STEP 6. Pull the ends of the bands lightly and
secure the hook tabs to the outside of the
legging to anchor the legging in place. Ensure
that the bottom edge of the legging is
positioned just above the ankle bone.
STEP 7. Disengage the bottom two bands, feed
one band through the hole in the other and
pull them to rm and comfortable compression.
Then, secure the hook tabs to the legging.
STEP 8. Be sure to pull forward and away from
the leg, before lowering the bands and pressing
them onto the legging.
STEP 9. Continue securing
one set of bands at a time
going up the leg, pulling
to rm and comfortable
compression. Use the same
amount of force when pulling
each set of bands, going up the
leg. Readjust the top two bands to rm and
comfortable compression.
STEP 11. Once all of the bands are secured, inspect the garment for any gaps, creases, or folds
and adjust the bands as necessary. If gaps are still present, return to the bottom of the garment
and readjust each set of bands accordingly. The garment should lay at against the leg. The bands
may need to be pulled at a slight angle to make the garment contour perfectly against the leg.
STEP 13. Flex the foot several times to conrm that the legging feels rm and comfortable.
STEP 14. Once the legging has been properly donned, roll the top part of the sock liner over the
top edge of the legging.
STEP 15. Readjust the bands of the legging as needed throughout the day to provide rm and
comfortable compression. Slightly loosen the bands for night-time wear.
ReMOVal
STEP 1. Disengage each set of bands starting at the top of the
garment. Pull one band out of the other one and roll each hook tab
back onto its band. Do not tightly roll the bands back onto themselves,
as this will cause the hook material to bend, reducing its adherence
strength. When complete, the garment should resemble its starting
position for easy reapplication.
STEP 2. Proceed by removing the Comfort EZ Single-Band Ankle-Foot
Wrap™ according to its removal instructions.
STEP 3. Lastly, slide the Comfort Knee-High Sock™ o the leg.
alTeRaTiOns
The following steps will illustrate which alterations can be made to the
Ready-Fit™ legging. The following adjustments should be made by the
tter, clinician, or therapist at the time of tting, if necessary.
A) LEGGING LENGTH ADJUSTMENT
If the legging is too long for the patient, up
to two bands may be cut from the bottom
to shorten the garment. Locate the pencil
lines on the inside of the garment, between
the bottom bands to be trimmed and
the ones above them. Carefully cut along
the line, through the neoprene spine, to
remove the bands. Do not cut any of the
reinforced stitching and do not cut o any
of the other bands. Refer to image →
B) LEGGING RANGE ADJUSTMENT
If the legging has become too large for the patient, the slits between the bands may be
lengthened to increase the range the legging ts. This will also give greater exibility to the
legging. Locate the lines on the inside of the garment, between the bands. Carefully cut along
the lines where the garment needs to be sized down or where greater exibility is desired. Only
lengthen the slits between the bands if necessary and cut very little at a time; gapping may
occur if the slits are cut too long.
Please nOTe ThaT nO OTheR MODifiCaTiOns Can be
MaDe TO The ReaDy-fiT™ leGGinG.
REMEMBER: The Ready-Fit™ Legging should never hurt. It should
feel rm but comfortable. If pressure increases or decreases
noticeably during wear, loosen or tighten any bands accordingly.
IF EXPERIENCING ANY PAIN, REMOVE
THE LEGGING IMMEDIATELY AND
CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN.
