USAGE GUIDELINES
- When to Wear: Use as recommended by your surgeon, podiatrist, or physical therapist, typically during the immediate post-operative and early recovery phases.
- How to Put On: Open straps fully, slide the foot into the shoe (over dressings if required), then fasten straps from toe to ankle for even compression.
- Adjusting Fit: Tighten for gentle compression, avoid over-tightening, which can restrict circulation. Straps should feel secure but comfortable.
- Weight Bearing: Follow your healthcare provider's instructions regarding partial or full weight-bearing. The shoe supports short, careful ambulation rather than vigorous activity.
- Medical Consultation: Always check with your healthcare professional before using it if you have vascular disease, severe neuropathy, or complex wounds.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
- Cleaning: Hand wash the upper with mild soap and lukewarm/cold water. Gently scrub soiled areas with a soft cloth or brush.
- Disinfecting: For clinical reuse, wipe contact surfaces with a healthcare-approved disinfectant wipe, and avoid saturating the fabric.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not tumble dry as heat can warp the sole and degrade adhesives.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach, strong solvents, or abrasive cleaners, which can weaken materials and stitching.
- Inspection: Periodically check straps, seams, and the outsole for wear or damage and replace the shoe if safety is compromised.
