Ask your specialist retailer how you can most easily put on your compression stocking. Your adviser will show you and practise it with you.

• Place the compression stocking into the stirrup, with the toe of the stocking pointing forwards and the heel towards you. Turn down the top of the stocking so the stocking is inside out.
• Carefully slide the stocking down over the stirrup until the heel appears at the edge of the frame.
• Now slip your toes into the foot of the stocking. Support yourself while doing this by holding a fixed object (table, wall).
• Now pull the stocking, using the handgrips, up to the middle of your lower leg.
• Then tilt the Butler backwards.
