Step 3: Note where the second BPS line
lines up with the card´s compression
ranges. (Fig. A, B, and C)
Step 4: If the BPS line on the garment
either falls short (Fig. B) or goes beyond
the correct compression range (Fig. C),
readjust the band as necessary so that
the second BPS line on the garment is
aligned with the prescribed compression
range (Fig. A). Completely loosen the
band before reapplying it if too much
tension has been applied.
Step 5: Repeat the steps 2 - 4 for each
band going up the leg. Be sure to adjust
all bands to the SAME compression level.
Bands may need adjusting throughout
the day to maintain the prescribed
compression range.
Note:
If using multiple circaid juxtafit
made-to-measure garments, only lightly
apply bands overlapping the legging
below to ensure gradient compression.
Set the remaining bands to firm and
comfortable compression or prescribed
compression level.
Note:
Once the correct pressure is set using
the BPS card, you may fold the top and
bottom part of the circaid undersleeve
over the top and bottom edge of the
circaid juxtafit garment.
Important information for practitio-
ners and patients:
Please note it is recommended that the
limb is always treated in its entirety
with medical compression.
This means that compression products
for the leg begin at the foot or the ankle
and extend up to below the hollow of
the knee or beyond to include the thigh.
For a variety of reasons, the compressi-
on garment may be divided into
individual segments, e.g. for production
reasons, to enhance treatment,
compliance, or for easier handling.
A compression garment exclusively for
the upper leg or knee for the indications
listed is only appropriate when used
under the direct supervision and on the
recommendation of a Physician. In
certain circumstances where improperly
prescribed or applied, a partial limb
compression can damage the patient‘s
health or lead to constriction or stasis.
Pictures of products that, for instance,
show a compression garment on the
thigh only are, in this case, solely for the
sake of clarity (product details, pattern,
attachment, clear illustration of donning
and doffing), and are not a guide to
medical/therapeutic care.
