How do you take your socks off? The kit they demonstrated at the hospital had some kind of hook to grab the back of the sock.

I just used the small silver stub/hook atop the end to push sock down, then used 'pincer' the rest of the way.

You can use either the shoe horn - slip it into the back of your foot/sock and slide the sock over your heel and then pull your foot out or use the reacher tool's tip, grab the sock and pull it around your foot. Pick up your socks with the reacher.

The coil has hooks on each end, hook one side on the stem of the hanger, then strech and hook the other end on the stem too. :)

I do not know, however why ruin a perfectly good sock. I think the foot part also supports the leg part and by cutting off the foot part the leg part would not stay in place. My local drug store has some leg compression socks without the foot part.

You should be able to,roll the socks on the sock-aid all the way to the heel and toe is on the sock-aid and just pull the ropes and the compression stockings should be all the way on your foot than just pull up the sock.I hope this helped you.Have a good day.

You can remove pins and run lanyard through hole, I believe. One person hooks hers.

Take out the insole and the footbed of the shoe has a perforated opening that allows you to access theb

when taking it off you need to apply some force but not too much. I took it off by pulling up in a "hook" motion towards myself

Once I got the stocking on I would cover my toes and put the hole behind them. Sometimes I would just let the toes come through the hole.

I don't recall, mainly because I have only used it once, that was a year ago.. The whole thing reminds me of something out of the 1950's. I found a more practical solution in the Coloplast Freedom Catheter. This uses a typical drainage bag attached to the leg with velcro straps. The difference is at the connection point. Instead of a heavy rubber "boot" that fits over the penis the Coloplast device uses a thin disposable latex sheath, much like a prophylactic. It is available in several sizes. The tip has a resevoir with a 1" tube at the tip. The sheath also has a slightly sticky inside to keep it in place on the penis. The sheath is unrolled on to the penis. There is a connector that is included with the kit, one end slips into the tube at the tip of the sheath, the other to a short piece of clear tubing. This tubing attaches to the collection bag. Urine flows directly from the tip of the sheath down the clear tube and into the collection bag. Removing the thing is easy. Just remove the connection tube from the sheath, roll the sheath up and throw it away. I empty the collection bag and then put about a quarter cup of alcohol or peroxide to sanitize the bag, flush with water. Done and done. I don't recall the company I got the thing from, but there are several companies selling this device. If you are interested I suggest you google "Coloplast catheter". Hope this helps.

I always need to pull the sock a remaining portion of the way, maybe you'll prove to be more clever than I am. No, no help with removal

When you hem you are going completely around so when you are ready to end and take your fabric out. Raise the needles up and take a pin rake the two needle treads toward you between the foot and your fabric cut the two threads then pull your fabric straight back this will pull your threads to the back side of fabric and lock your stitch in place.

I have good use of the left hand, not so good with the right. I grip the sock aid at the tips with my good hand, collapsing them flatly against one another. With my bad hand I begin to slip the sock over the tips, sometimes using my teeth. Once the sock covers the tips I am able to slip my foot in, pull it through and work it down. It works OK. So far I have found nothing better!

The gadget worked rely well for normal socks. I would expect it will do the job with compression socks. Probably the hardest thing will be pulling the compression sock over the device which will depend on some elasticity in the sock to allow it to stretch over the blue foot. My best guess is yes it will work, but cannot confirm. The device was fabulous for me post hip replacement. Hope this helps.

You might have difficulty pulling the sock on to the chute if the sock is tight. The plastic is pretty stiff for this particular device. if you can slide it on you will not have any problem from there on. There is a similar one, without the clip straps made from a softer plastic I used while in rehab, which might work better. I found this one to work well without the use of the straps. The Velcro strip on the lower back of the chute held the sock on pretty well until the sock was all the way on.Tip: when you have pulled the sock onto the chute as far to the toe as possible, bunch the socks back down to the toe as much as possible your foot will slide into the toe much easier.

I stand on it with thin socks. It has helped tremendously with my back pain. Takes getting used to though.

Gosh, I don't know how it would work with knee high nylon stockings. On a regular sock, you have to bunch it up so it doesn't extend past the end of the plastic slider. I used it to get the sock over the tip of my toe. Then you pull it back and extract the blue piece of plastic. What that leaves you with is a sock that's covering the entire foot, but you have to pull it up from there using your hands. It mainly works for people who can't reach as far as their toes, but who can reach their heel and ankle area to finish pulling them on.
