Step-By-Step Treatment Guide
Step 1 - Garment Fitting
Using mild soap and water, cleanse the area where you will be placing the garment. The electrodes do
not adhere well to dirt, oil, creams or other cosmetics on the skin. Ensure the skin is dry.
Remove the liners from the
black
side of each electrode (Fig. a). Do not dispose of these liners, as
they will need to be placed back onto the electrodes between treatment sessions.
Sit down with your leg as straight as possible. For the best fit and most effective treatment it is
important to have your leg as straight as possible during garment fitting.
Place the garment on your leg so that the light blue binding lies just above the kneecap (approx.
0.5cm/ .25”) and the printed Median Line lies along the centre of your thigh (Fig. b).
Fasten both pairs of straps. For the best fit, fasten the pair of straps closest to the Kneecap first. When
the straps are fastened the garment should have a comfortable yet firm fit.
Note:
If you are a very narrow fit, the straps may overlap some of the adhesive electrodes. However, for an
effective and safe treatment, it is important that the whole surface of all four electrodes is in contact
with the skin. You can eliminate the overlapping problem by folding the straps inwards at the printed
line before fastening (Fig. c).
Before starting a treatment session:
We recommend sitting with your knee at an angle between 0 - 60 degrees (Fig. d) or lying down with
the leg straight. Before beginning treatment, ensure that all of the electrodes are flat against your
skin.
