Step 5: If the BPS line on the garment
either falls short (B) or goes beyond the
correct compression range (C), readjust
the band as necessary so that the
second BPS line on the garment is
aligned with the prescribed compression
range (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 leg.
Be sure to adjust all bands to the same
tension to ensure gradient compression.
Bands may need adjusting throughout
the day to maintain the prescribed
compression range as edema is reduced.
Note:
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.
