2. The spine tabs do not need to reach the top or bottom edge of the body piece. In
those cases, the top and bottom tabs should visually connect to the correct number
markings.
3. The garment may no longer lay flat once the spine has been set. This is to be
expected when dealing with more extreme spine angles.

STEP 4 with the spine in place, cut the excess material off of
the body piece of the garment leaving about 5cm (or 2 inches)
of overlap (Fig. D). Ensure that enough of an overlap is left as
not to expose any of the spine hook and to allow for potential
spine adjusting.
Note: When dealing with more extreme spine angles,
excess material sticking out beyond the top of the spine
piece is to be expected. Using the top of the spine piece
as a guide, cut off the excess material (Fig. E).
Be sure not to cut any other
part of the garment.
If accidental removal of the spine tabs is a concern, place the
white velcro® Stays along the edge of the spine where the
patient feels the spine needs reinforcing or trace around the
spine tabs with a permanent marker for easy re-application. (Fig. F)
STEP 5 Locate the Built-In Pressure System™ guide card. Highlight the edge of the
card that correctly references the patient's ankle circumference measurement. If the
patient's measurement falls between two ranges on the card, 22.5cm for example,
choose the smaller range.
Tip: Should the patient reduce significantly, ankle and calf circumference
measurements can be re-taken and the garment can be adjusted to the patient's
new size by resetting the spine per steps 3, 4, and 5.
donning juxta-cures™ with the comfort
compression anKlet™ and comfort leg liner™
STEP 1 Instruct the patient to slide the Comfort Leg Liner™ onto the leg before
donning the anklet or legging (the cuffed edge of the liner should be near the foot).
The liner is worn for added comfort and when heavy exudate is expected. It should be
pulled over the knee and should cover the ankle bone. Next,
the Comfort Compression Anklet™ is slid onto the foot and
over the bottom part of the liner. Be sure the anklet is pulled
high enough above the ankle bone so that it will overlap with
the legging (Fig. G). Also ensure that there are no wrinkles in
the liner where it is tucked into the anklet.
STEP 2 To don the legging, the patient should

position it around the leg with the black side of
the material facing the skin and with the bottom
edge, identified by the CircAid® logo, reaching
just above the ankle bone. Instruct the patient to
unroll the top two bands, to pull them above and
below each other across the front of the leg, and
to loosely secure them to the outside of the
Fig. D
garment to anchor the garment in place (Fig. H).
Be sure the patient does not tuck the bands
under the legging. The velcro® hook should
never touch the skin or liner (Fig. I).
STEP 3 once the garment is
Fig. E
secure, instruct the patient to
unroll the bottom two bands
of the garment and to pull them above and below each
other across the front of the leg, overlapping with the
anklet (Fig. J). once firm and comfortable compression
is achieved, the patient may secure the hook tab of the
bottom band. Before securing the second band from the
bottom, instruct the patient to disengage the third band
from the bottom. while holding the second and third bands
taut, the patient should pull the second band from
the bottom to firm and comfortable compression

and secure it to the outside of the legging. Instruct
the patient to angle each band individually to
achieve a snug and wrinkle-free fit (Fig. K). Before
securing the third band from the bottom, instruct
the patient to disengage the fourth band. while
angling the last two bands, the patient should
pull the third band from the bottom to firm and
comfortable compression and secure it to the legging. Instruct the patient to pull the
last top band to firm and comfortable compression and to secure it to the legging.
STEP 4 Using the appropriately highlighted Built-in Pressure System™ guide scale,
instruct the patient to align one of the vertical guidelines on the bottom-most band
with the line marked with a "" on the scale. Note the location of the second vertical
guideline in reference to the grey block "
