DIRECTIONS
Note the markings: "Right" or "Left". Separate the Velcro band from itself and remove its free end. Leave the sewn end of the band on the splint which goes beneath the foot. Insert big toe between the cushion and the concave part of the splint; the cushion should cover the bunion joint (A). Lead Velcro band around outside of foot and through slot in splint on top of foot (B). Pull to adjust corrective tension. Fold band back onto itself and press together to secure (C). Adjust band tension so that the big toe is gently straightened. Initial wear should be limited to no longer than 30 minutes. After a few such uses, you should find all-night wear to be comfortable. Wearing a light sock reduces interference with sheets. Gradually increase band tension, over time, without causing discomfort. Only wear while resting or sleeping. Do not walk while wearing this product.
