secure the remaining two hook
tabs to the other side of the
garment.
Ensure that the hook tabs never
make contact with the thin,
elastic material.
The circaid juxtafit essentials
elbow strap is symmetrical, so
either end may be used for
alignment.
Doffing instructions
To remove the garment, detach
all bands starting with the top
band. Fold each band onto itself
to keep the hook tabs lint-free.
Note
If you have decided to wear a
circaid undersleeve beneath the
garment, remove the
undersleeve.
Using the Built-In-Pressure
System (BPS)
Step 1: Locate the Built-In-
Pressure card in your packaging.
Step 2: Identify your prescribed
pressure scale using the
color-coded system.
Step 3: Starting with the bottom
band, line up the black triangle
on the card with one of the BPS
lines on the bottom band.
Step 4: Note where the second
BPS line lines up with the card´s
compression ranges.
Step 5: 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 6: Repeat the steps 3 - 5 for
each band going up the arm. 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.
Important information for
practitioners and patients:
Please note that the limb is
always treated in its entirety
with medical compression.
This means that compression
products for the arm begin at the
hand or the wrist, and some
extend up to just below the
elbow or beyond to below the
axilla.
