Method Of Use
Method of Use
1. Lay the aid on a flat surface, and with the heel of the sock facing the bracket stretch the top of the sock over the applicator.
2. Continue pulling the sock down until the toe is visible.
3. Lower the aid to the ground, grasp the handle, place the foot into the toe of the sock and gently pull.
4. Further pulling on the handle unrolls the sock smoothly over the foot and calf as the hinged application is drawn up the leg.
