Easy Slide Aplicador de Meias de Compressão

Detalhes do Produto

Visão Geral

The Aplicador de Meias de Compressão is an assistive device designed to help individuals with limited mobility, reduced hand strength, or back problems put on compression stockings and socks independently. Featuring a rigid frame and long handles, it holds the stocking open while the user slides their foot in and pulls up, eliminating the need to bend over or struggle with tight compression fabric. This device restores dressing independence and reduces the risk of falls and strain.

Aplicações Comuns

• Post-surgical recovery — Patients after knee/hip replacement, abdominal surgery, or other procedures requiring compression therapy.
• Elderly and limited mobility — Seniors with arthritis, reduced grip strength, or difficulty bending to reach their feet.
• Chronic venous insufficiency — Patients who wear compression stockings daily to manage swelling and varicose veins.
• Pregnancy — Expectant mothers who need compression support but have difficulty bending due to abdominal girth.
• Rehabilitation and physical therapy — Used in rehab centers to help patients regain independence in dressing.
• Caregiver assistance — Reduces physical strain on caregivers who help patients with dressing.

Modo de Uso

1. Sit on a chair or bed with your back supported and feet flat on the floor.
2. Hold the donner by its two handles. Stretch the opening of the compression stocking over the central frame, pulling it down to the heel pocket. Ensure the stocking is right-side out and the heel is properly aligned.
3. Lower the donner to the floor, keeping hold of the handles. The stocking should now be held open in a funnel shape.
4. Slide your foot into the opening, toes first, until your heel seats into the heel pocket of the stocking.
5. Gently pull up on the handles, guiding the stocking up your foot, ankle, and calf. Use a slow, steady motion — do not yank.
6. Once the stocking is past the calf, remove the donner by sliding it out from the top of the stocking.
7. Finish adjusting the stocking by hand: smooth out any wrinkles, ensure the heel is centered, and the top band sits at the correct height (below the knee for knee-high, at the thigh for thigh-high).
8. To remove the stocking, reverse the process or use the built-in take-off hook (if equipped) to pull the stocking down from the top.

Principais Benefícios

• Restores independence — Allows users to don compression stockings without assistance from caregivers.
• Reduces strain and falls — Eliminates the need to bend, stretch, or balance on one leg while dressing.
• Works with most compression levels — Accommodates 15–20 mmHg, 20–30 mmHg, and 30–40 mmHg compression stockings.
• Durable and lightweight — Sturdy frame supports repeated daily use while remaining easy to handle.
• Easy to clean — Wipe down with a damp cloth; no special maintenance required.

Tip: For best results, put on compression stockings first thing in the morning before swelling occurs. If the stocking is difficult to slide, dust your foot with a small amount of talcum powder or wear a thin silk foot liner (then remove the liner after the stocking is in place).
