Applying the Garment

Before fitting the garment ensure all quick air
release bungs are closed, as this will effect the
efficiency of the garment.
1. If a larger circumference is required, fit a matching
length insert piece before applying to the limb. If
appropriate, a primary dressing or stockinette may
be used underneath the garments.
2. Undo the zip on the garment.
3. If a garment insert is fitted to the garment, fully
fasten one of the zips between the garment and
insert, leaving the other unfastened.
4. Before applying the garment (and insert, if fitted) to
the limb, zip up the first 150 mm (6”) of the
unfastened garment zip. Put the garment (and
insert) onto the limb and fully fasten the zip. Make
sure that the quick air release bung is secured.
5. Make sure the patient is in a comfortable position
with the limb supported or elevated as necessary.
6. Check that the insert piece connecting tube is not
kinked and is attached to the garment using the
lower outlet bung as shown below.
