An applicator designed to assist with putting on tubular bandages or compression stockings. It consists of two wire frames. It requires good hand strength to pull the bandages over the frame. It is particularly useful for people with ulcerated legs or situations where the bandage is being placed over a dressing as it saves dragging on the legs. There are different sized frames for different sized bandages.
General Details
Extra product information
Method of Use:
Pull the bandage onto the smaller frame and then place the smaller frame inside the larger frame, and with the large end of the stocking pull it over the larger frame. To apply the bandage to the leg, the user puts their foot through the two frames which are held together, and pulled up to about the mid calf level. The smaller frame is then pulled down and off the foot, and the large frame is pulled upwards until the stocking is removed from the frame. This method ensures that there is no dragging on the leg and also ensures a smooth fit.
