Donning the circaid® graduate
arm
Slide the circaid undersleeve arm
all the way up to the axilla. The
thumb should extend through
the hole, and the end of the
sleeve should be at the base of
the fingers.
Step 1: Slide the circaid graduate
arm all the way up to the axilla.
The thumb should extend
through the side of the foam
liner, and the end of the sleeve
should be at the base of the
fingers.
Ensure that:
•
The foam padding sandwiches
the hand.
•
The thumb has mobility.
•
The gradient measuring strip is
positioned on the inside of the
arm.
•
The D-rings are located on the
inside of the arm, with the
straps pointing away from the
body.
Fastening the circaid®
graduate arm
Step 2: Smooth the undersleeve
beneath the garment so that
there are no wrinkles.
Step 3: Apply the circaid graduate
hand cover, see “Donning the
circaid graduate hand cover”.
Step 4: Lift up the strap nearest
to the wrist, pull the strap up and
away from the arm, and then
around the top of the arm and
fasten to the sleeve.
Using the assured gradient
system
Step 5: The armsleeve is provided
with a measuring system to
assist in obtaining the proper
gradient compression. Tighten
the wrist strap to firm and
comfortable compression, then
align the assured gradient card
on the vertical measuring guides
(on the double striped neoprene)
at the wrist. Match the “X” to one
vertical guideline, and then use
the scale to measure where the
other vertical guideline falls.
