Your fingers may or may not extend from the end of the garment depending on the length
of your arm. When applied, the garment should not be so tight that it applies compression

garment closest to the wrist.
Arm garments
Step 1: Loosely form the garment to your arm’s shape and fasten the hook tabs

. Use
the outermost hook panel for larger circumference arms. Fold the panel under itself and use
the inner hook panel for smaller circumference arms.
Step 2: With the curved end of the garment closest to you, slide your arm into the garment
until it reaches your armpit
(4.11)
.
Step 3: Ensure that the curved top edge of the garment is positioned on the outer side of
your shoulder
(4.12)
. The straight end of the garment should be positioned over the hand.
Readjust the hook and loop material of the garment, if necessary, so that it fits securely but
comfortably on your arm. As the garment inflates it will intelligently apply compression
based on your limb size so it is not necessary that the garment have a snug fit or apply
compression from donning.
Garment removal
Disconnect the garment from the PCU and deflate as necessary. To remove the garment, either
slide your limb out of the garment or undo the hook and loop material and remove your limb.
It is recommended to keep the hook and loop material fastened even when the compression
garment is not in use to avoid it snagging on clothes, linens, or other materials.
