If urgent need for removal of product, open with scissors.
Measuring Tips:
- Do the measuring at the widest abdominal circumference (on the area that's supposed to be covered by the belt of course)
- Choose a size according to the measurement, but ensure that the belt feels supportive as well as comfortable when the he-part of the belt is fixed in the middle position of hook & loop. The reason for the fixation in the middle position of the hook & loop is that this ensures that the support level can always be adjusted (tightened or loosened). If the user for instance looses weight, it is possible to tighten the belt. If the user gains weight or has had a 3 course meal, it's possible to loosen the belt (for a while or permanent).
- Always assess the user when he/she lies, sits and stands to make sure you've chosen an appropriate size that feels supportive as well as comfortable in every position. If the belt feels too tight, when sitting, it's advisable to choose a bigger size.
- Also take the following factors into consideration: Sedentary work, general daily activity level (mainly active or bedridden for instance) and choose a size that feels supportive as well as comfortable according to work and general activity level
- Compression is tolerated individually. Some tolerate compression well, some don't tolerate compression well. Therefore, always assess perceived compression level. If compression level isn't tolerated well, choose a bigger size.
Measure at the widest abdominal circumference
NOTE: for more support go down one size and for less support for up one size
IMPORTANT: Always measure yourself to find the right size
