Wearing recommendation
Always ensure that the correct
prescribed pressure range is
being applied. If desired,
temporarily detach the elbow
band in order to increase
mobility. Slightly loosen the
bands of the garment for
night-time wear. Each vertical
BPS line on the bands may be at a
different location on the arm
depending on the size and shape
of the arm. They do not need to
be aligned down the front center
of the arm or in any other specific
location on the arm. If
experiencing any pain, or
discomfort, reduce the
compression (mmHg) applied or
remove device. Inform your
clinician of your action.
When bands are placed correctly
they should slightly overlap,
leaving no space between bands.
Do not tuck bands. The Velcro
tabs should never touch the skin!
