Shortening the Measure-Up

 Armsleeve Fit - FOR CLINICIAN USE ONLY!

STEP 1: 

Apply the armsleeve to patient’s arm and determine amount to be cut at axilla before removing.

STEP 2: 

Cut a crescent up to 2 cm deep using bandage scissors, re-apply to arm and review modified length (do not cut into neoprene).

STEP 3: 

If armsleeve is still too long, cut the crescent up to 2 cm more and re-apply.

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.

STEP 6: 

Going up the arm, tighten each strap so that the card measures the 

same value as at the wrist. If a strap is over-tightened, it is best to completely 

loosen it before resetting to assure an accurate reading.

STEP 7: 

When finished, recheck that the card measures the same value at each 

of the straps.

APPLYING THE COMFORT COVERUP™ 
STEP 1: 

Ensure that all tab ends of the armsleeve are securely fastened to the 

garment. 

STEP 2: 

Remove the small piece of loop secured between the hook tabs on the 

Comfort CoverUp™. Lay the Comfort CoverUp™ out flat and fold over the top 

edge so that the two hook tabs are visible. 

STEP 3: 

Slide the Comfort CoverUp™ over the armsleeve and secure the hook 

tabs on the Comfort CoverUp™ to the garment once it is in its desired position.

REMOVAL
STEP 1: 

Disengage the two hook tabs on the Comfort CoverUp™ from the armsleeve, fold over the top edge so the hook tabs are 

visible,  and slide the Comfort CoverUp™ off the arm before removing the armsleeve.

STEP 2: 

Disengage all tab ends of the Measure-Up™ Armsleeve and loosen the straps.

STEP 3: 

Refasten the tab ends at their loosest position.

STEP 4: 

Unfasten the Hand Cover’s bands and roll them back onto themselves.

STEP 5: 

Slide off the armsleeve. Once complete, it should resemble how it looked before it was donned.

STEP 6: 

Slide off the Comfort Arm Liner™.

The Measure-Up™ Armsleeve or Hand Cover should never hurt. They should feel firm 

but comfortable. If pressure increases or decreases noticeably during wear, loosen or  

tighten the bands accordingly. Always wear an arm liner beneath the armsleeve.

IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING ANY PAIN, IMMEDIATELY REMOVE  

THE MEASURE-UP™ GARMENT AND CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN.
