PediFix^® QuickTape^® Support Straps

DIRECTIONS (Please see video for how to apply.)
Step 1: Make sure hands and feet are clean and dry with no lotions, oils or creams applied. Lay cloth side down and fold the backing of section A over top of sections D and E.
Step 2: While gripping sections B and C with your hands, apply the leading edge of the strap just behind the 1st and 5th metatarsal heads, keeping the heel centered between sections D and E.
Step 3: Remove backing from sections B and C and snuggly wrap straight across the top of the foot (one overlapping the other). Be careful not to stretch or angle these sections. Rub all sides of these tabs firmly and vigorously for 10-15 seconds to activate the adhesive.
Step 4: Remove the backing from folded section A and sections D and E. Have the patient plantar-flex (point their toes). While pulling back firmly, wrap sections D and E around the back of the heel bone (one overlapping the other). Do not wrap and higher than the heel bone to avoid interfering with the Achilles' tendon.
Step 5: It is important to activate the adhesive by firmly rubbing the entire strap vigorously for 10 to 15 second for best adhesion.


CARE
Strap lasts up to 7 days depending on body type, humidity and activity level. Just pat dry after showering and wear it with any footwear. Long baths, hot tubs, swimming, excessive sweating, and high humidity climates may shorten the effective life of the strap. Discard strap once removed from foot.
