Medi Assure Butler Application Aid

A work in progress!

Maybe it's me, but getting the hose on to the donning butler is almost as difficult as putting the hose on my leg. Perhaps it is because i have 30-40 compression, but getting the heel in the correct position prior to putting your foot in is not easy once you've fought getting the stocking nearly to that location! I find the size of the opening for your leg is not adequate to easily complete the final stage of getting the stocking on. I've tried the butler many years ago and thought maybe i'd try again. Some days are easier than others, so I'll keep trying.

Seems like a good idea for other people

This device may well be helpful to other people but it does not work for me. It caused the sock to get stretched too much so that it extended above my knee and caused me pain. I could not correct the problem without taking the sock off my leg and it was also very difficult to do that because it was stretched so tight. Perhaps the fact that I wear high compression is the reason; I found it hard to get the sock onto the Donning Butler even before putting my foot into it. Fortunately I am still able to get my socks on without an aid. I purchased the device to be prepared in case I have difficulty later on. (I am now 80 years old.) I’m going to concentrate on trying to maintain my flexibility.

A big help

This tool has been a big help for my husband. I was having to put on his compression socks for him as it's very difficult for him but with this tool he can now use it to put them on all by himself
