Why Choose the medi® Butler Off?
The medi Butler Off is designed for people who have difficulty bending down, reaching their feet or gripping compression hosiery. The grooved end securely catches the stocking cuff and lets the user gradually push the garment down over the calf and heel.
The stable aluminium shaft acts as an extension of the arm, while the ergonomic plastic handle provides a comfortable grip. The design can also help protect the stocking fabric from excessive pulling during removal.

How to Use
Place the end of the Butler Off into the upper cuff of the stocking. Guide the front of the aid down the calf while keeping the inside surface against the skin. The groove catches the cuff and progressively pushes the stocking downward.
Continue over the heel, then guide the tool along the sole of the foot until the stocking slips off. The stocking can then be removed from the tool without requiring the user to bend down.
The Butler Off can also function as a shoehorn by placing only the outer end between the shoe and the underside of the foot.
Usage & Compatibility Information
Use gentle, controlled movements and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Do not force the device against the skin or stocking.
Not recommended for mediven forte or flat-knit compression stockings. medi's product documentation specifically excludes these garments from recommended use with the Butler Off.
Do not press the stocking against the floor with the device because this can damage the garment. Inspect the aid before use and discontinue use if the handle or shaft is damaged.
