Juxta-Fit Ankle Foot Wrap Closed Heel

Adjustable foot and ankle wrap with a closed heel

The Juxta-Fit Ankle Foot Wrap Closed Heel goes round the foot and ankle and fastens with overlapping hook-and-loop bands, so the fit is set by hand rather than pulled on like a stocking. The heel is enclosed, not left open. It is designed for the management of resistant oedema of the foot and ankle, and comes from medi UK.

Fastening and adjustment

The bands fasten one at a time. Because they overlap, a single band can be lifted and reset without taking the whole wrap off, which helps when swelling changes between morning and evening. Sizing is by limb measurement, so the wrap needs to be measured for rather than guessed at.

Day to day

The wrap is usually worn through the day and taken off at night, unless your clinician says otherwise. Keep the hook and loop clear of hair and fluff so the bands hold their grip, and check the fastenings now and then for wear.

It's important to get the right fit when it comes to compression garments. That's why Daylong Shop recommends that you contact a nurse, GP or pharmacist to ensure that compression hosiery is appropriate for you. If so, you will then need to be measured in order to obtain the correct size which will ensure that the garment works correctly and feels comfortable.
