How to use Sammons Preston Sock Assistance Device?

1. Being in a seated position with feet on the floor, hold Sock/Stocking Aid in one hand, resting on one knee. Draw the sock/stocking over the aid so the toe is completely over the end and the sock is at least halfway up the length of the plastic trough.
2. Flip Sock/Stocking Aid out in front of the foot and let drop onto the floor. Insert toes through the opening of sock/stocking
3. Pull straight back on back foam handles until sock/stocking covers the toes. Begin pulling at an upward angle toward the ceiling so that the sock/stocking is pulled around the heel
4. Continue pulling on handles until the sock is pulled up or until stocking can be reached. Sock/Stocking Aid will pull out of the sock/stocking about mid-calf

The cord on the Sock/Stocking Aid may be shortened by cutting. Retie each cord end into a knot, to prevent raveling.

Note: Instruction are the same for the #2083-02 Continuous Loop Sock Aid. Can be performed with one hand using the continuous foam handle.
