Juxta-Fit Ankle Foot Wrap Interlocking

Interlocking bands that set the fit around the ankle and foot

The Juxta-Fit Ankle Foot Wrap Interlocking covers the foot and ankle with overlapping hook-and-loop bands, so the fit is set by hand rather than pulled on like a stocking. It is an inelastic wrap from medi UK, designed for the management of resistant oedema of the foot and ankle, and is normally used as part of a plan set by a nurse or clinician. Compression depends on how firmly the bands are drawn, so the wrap is not tied to a fixed compression class.

Putting it on and adjusting it

Each band is drawn across the foot or ankle and pressed down onto the layer beneath. Bands can be loosened and reset through the day as swelling changes, without taking the wrap off and starting again. Keep the hook-and-loop free of fluff and hair, or the bands lose some of their grip over time. Most people are shown how to place the bands by the nurse or fitter who measured them.

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.
