Washing instructions
hand wash, warm
Do not bleach
drip dry or flat dry
Do not iron
Do not dry clean
Do not wring
To extend the life of your circaid
graduate leg, circaid cover up and circaid
socks hand wash and drip or flat dry. The
circaid cover up and circaid socks can
also be machine washed using a gentle
cycle and dried on a low heat setting. It
is recommended that the circaid cover
up be washed and dried alone or in a
pillowcase to prevent lint from getting
caught in the hook tape.
Donning the circaid® graduate whole leg
Step 1: Don the included sock.
Step 2: Position the circaid graduate
whole leg with the straps at the front of
the leg and the vertical guidelines along
the inside of the leg. Ensure the foam
lining wraps completely around the foot
and leg, and extends just beyond the top
and bottom edges of the outer shell.
Slide the garment onto the leg; use the
handles at the top of the garment to
assist with sliding it on. Do not pull on
the foam lining.
Step 3: If the garment is too tight to slide
over the foot, one or more of the straps
can be pulled out of the D-ring. Ensure
the foot is properly aligned within the
garment; the front edge of the legging
should align with the base of the toes.
Step 4: Detach the strap nearest to the
toes, pull the strap up and across the
foot, and fasten the tab end to the
legging. Pull the strap to firm and
comfortable compression. Repeat with
the remaining foot straps.
Step 5: The leg portion of the garment is
provided with a measuring system to
assist in obtaining gradient
compression. Tighten the bottom
ankle-band to a firm and comfortable
compression level, then align the
assured gradient card with the vertical
measuring guides (on the double striped
neoprene) at the ankle. Match the “X” to
one vertical guideline, and use the scale
to measure where the other vertical
guideline falls.
Step 6: Going up the leg, tighten each
strap so that the card measures the
same value as at the ankle. If a strap is
