Watch the video to see how donning compression stockings with the medi Butler is significantly easier.
medi Butler: Step by step instructions
1. Place the compression stocking in the stirrup. The toe of the stocking should face forwards. Turn the upper edge of the stocking outwards over the frame.
2. Slide the stocking over the stirrup until the toe appears over the edge of the stirrup.
3. Now place the medi Butler on the floor. Slip your foot, toes first, into the toe of the stocking.
4. Now put your foot into the rigid stand. Check that the toe and the heel are sitting correctly.
5. By pulling and releasing in succession on both handles, you can slide the stocking up towards your knee.
6. When the stocking is just below the knee, tilt the medi Butler slightly backwards and put it to one side.
7. To finish, smooth the compression stocking upwards evenly. Make sure that you ease the stocking up bit by bit without gathering it up or pulling on the top.
Putting on and taking off medical compression stockings is much easier with donning and doffing aids.
