Knit-Rite borrows the same patented advancements of the B/K Compressogrip shrinker and adds improvements such as circular knit construction, universal waist belt and multidirectional stretch. This Knit-Rite shrinker is constructed using X-Static fiber for odor management and antimicrobial. The Compressogrip fabric offers 25-30mmHg compression at 50% stretch, which is within limits for therapeutic benefits. The Knit-Rite A/K Compressogrip fits either left or right above knee (transfemoral) amputees. Materials Gray: 89% (95% Polyester/5% X-Static blend), 11% Spandex, Latex Free Directions for Use Adjust your A/K Knit-Rite compressogrip for either a left or right amputation and then secure velcro stays. Apply to your residual limb. Fasten the universal belt, cutoff unused end and discard. Snug the plastic ring to the bottom of your residuum. Reflect the second layer over the first layer. Identify how far the second layer should extend to your groin and mark with a marker. Pull the second layer down, cut to length and discard excess. In all cases, the second layer should be cut below the groin level to prevent “roll back.” For limbs presenting significant taper (conical), it may be advisable for the second layer to be left shorter to avoid greater compression along the top of your limb. Care Instructions Attach hook to pile before washing. Machine wash warm, no bleach; dry low. Precautions The Knit-Rite A/K Compressogrip shrinker features a higher compression power than the B/K Compressogrip shrinkers. At 50% stretch this fabric provides 25-30mmHg compression. At 100% stretch the compression is doubled. Double layers will double compression at both 50% and 100% stretch. Application of more than two layers, or more than 100% stretch, may exceed the limits of desired therapeutic pressure.
