  Applying the Full Leg and Half Leg Garment

Garment Preparation:
1 .  Once the garment is connected to the controller unit, unfold and 

place the full leg or half leg garment(s) on the bed or sofa with the 
inside garment material (darker fabric) facing up .

2 .  Configure your garment(s) using the zipper configuration 

indicated on your Prescribed Treatment Card . Zip the appropriate 
pull string color (teal or black) to the numbered zipper (#1 or #2) . 
Use the colored zipper to start the zipper . The following zipper 
configurations are available: 

   Black pull string to zipper  #1 – Petite

     Black pull string to zipper  #2 – Small
     Teal pull string to zipper  #1 – Medium
     Teal pull string to zipper  #2 – Large

 NOTE: 

If you are using an extender, position it so the narrow side is 

located at the foot of the leg garment. Connect the teal pull string 
located on the leg garment to the zipper on the extender. Then, 
connect the teal pull string located on the extender to the #2 zipper on 
the leg garment.

3 .  Zip the garment up half way .

Garment Application:
4 .  Sit down and slide your leg into the garment (see Figure 4.1.a.) .  

Pull the garment up to the top of your thigh (full leg garment) or 
knee (half leg garment); your foot should not exit the front of the 
garment . Zip the garment up completely and ensure the zipper 
pull is flat against the base to lock the zipper in place .

      NOTE: 

If the suggested configuration is too tight or too loose,  

try another configuration based on the listings above.
