Ezy-As Compression Stocking Applicator

How To Use

The unique design of the Ezy-As Compression Stocking Applicator means it can assist with the application of many different types of compression bandages, stockings and socks. See below for a guide on how the Ezy-As can aid in the application of these various garments.

Putting the garment on the applicator:

1. Position the applicator on a firm surface with the elongated hole facing you
2. Lower the garment into the applicator, keeping the heel of the stocking centred
3. Grip the garment and slide it down over the outside of the applicator until the heel pocket is at the top

Once the garment is on the applicator it is ready to use. How you put the garment on will depend on where the garment is being placed.

• Leg: In a seated position, place the applicator over your toes and hold the heel pocket while your foot enters the stocking. Release the heel pocket once it is aligned with the heel of your foot, continue to move the applicator along your foot, once it changes direction to slide along your leg you should begin to slide your stocking along the outside of the applicator. Once the stocking reaches the knee, simply remove the applicator by moving it backwards.
• Arm: When loading the applicator make the finger and thumb holes align with the centre of the top rim. Place your free hand around the outside of the applicator and slide the garment off the applicator as it moves up your arm.
• Applying on Another Person: Grip the stocking on the outside of the applicator to prevent it from sliding off as you position is above the patient’s toes. Once the heel pocket is in place, release your grip and slide the stocking off the applicator as you move it up the patient’s leg. Make sure the heel and toe are in the correct position, the stocking is the correct height, and there are no wrinkles.
