Your Surgeon, Vascular Nurse or Clinical Specialist will tell you about usage, which is normally twice a day for an hour. This can be split over more intervals if initially painful, but it is important to build up an hours constant use twice a day.

Prior to using the boot for the first time, familiarise yourself with the blue button at the side of the boot and make sure you can reach this once the boot is on your foot. This blue button allows the padding to deflate once the unit is switched off, so you can easily remove your foot.

To keep your device clean, the power unit can be dusted with a damp cloth. Don’t use any corrosive cleaners, just water. The boot can be wiped over with any antibacterial cleaning wipes, inside and out. Allow boot to dry thoroughly before use.

If you have been using this for a trial, please keep all packaging and associated information safe, as this will need to be collected at the end of the trial.
