DIRECTIONS
Note the markings: “Right” or “Left”. Separate the Velcro® band from itself and remove its free end. Leave the sewn end of the band on the splint which goes beneath the foot. Insert big toe between the cushion and the concave part of the splint; the cushion should cover the bunion joint. Lead Velcro band around outside of foot and through slot in splint on top of foot. Pull to adjust corrective tension. Fold band back onto itself and press together to secure. Adjust band tension so that the big toe is gently straightened. When in use after surgery, use as directed by doctor. When in conservative use, initial wear should be limited to 30 minutes or as directed by doctor. Gradually increase wearing time and band tension until all night wear is comfortable.
CARE
Hand wash in lukewarm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly. Blot in towel to remove excess moisture. Air dry completely, away from heat, before reuse.
