Application Instructions

(Repeat steps 1-3 for each mitt):

1. Insert the patient’s hand into the mitt, palm down. Separate

the ﬁngers so each ﬁnger ﬁts into its own slot.

2. Wrap the wrist strap around the smallest part of the patient’s

wrist, through the plastic ring, and secure with the hook and

loop fastener.

3. Slide ONE ﬁnger (ﬂat) between the device and the inside of

the patient’s wrist to ensure proper ﬁt. The strap must be

snug, but not compromise circulation.
