Find a work space: Any flat surface where you can stabilize your smartCRUTCH will work. Your lap could work, but it's not ideal nor recommended. Clean your hands: Even though any bubbles formed during application can be squeezed out, dirt/hair/other particles cannot. The cleaner your hands, the better. Application: peel off both the wing cuff pads and adhesive strips from the paper. Match up the right adhesive strip to the right wing cuff pad, and apply the sticky side of the adhesive strip to the sticky side of the wing cuff pad. Make sure to apply pressure to ensure they will stick together. Once you feel as though the adhesive strip is attached well to the pad, pull off one corner of the adhesive strip. As you pull off the adhesive strip paper this will transfer the adhesive sticker to the wing cuff pad. Now you are ready to apply the wing cuff pad to your crutch!
