1. Prepare the stocking: Turn the upper part of the stocking inside out halfway, so that the lower end can easily be placed over the hoof later. The Silicone Surface should sit on the inside on the lower end of the stocking, it is placed on the hoof later.
2. Use the dressing aid: Place the dressing aid on the hoof and slide the hoof into the stocking. Pull the stocking upward until the dressing aid can be removed. The stocking should then sit in the fetlock area.
3. Position the stocking: Place the hoof on the ground and pull the stocking high up over the leg, then pulling it back down gently stroking the hair in the natural direction of growth. Make sure the stocking sits smoothly in the pastern area without folds. Place the Silicone Surface on the hoof.
4. Apply the compression boot: Place the boot over the stocking and tightly fasten the middle Velcro strap first. Then lay the zipper flap flat and zip down to the middle strap.
5. Secure all closures: Fasten the top and bottom Velcro straps, open the middle one again, zip the boot completely, and finally close the middle strap securely.
6. Finish: Turn the upper part of the stocking over the top edge of the boot to complete the fit.
💡 Tip: Applying compression may feel tight and firm at first – this is normal and necessary for the therapeutic effect. When using the system for the first time, it can be helpful to have someone assist you until you are familiar with the process.
