9.Garments for Orthopedic use
Support for Amputation stump
Knee support
Calf support
Ankle support

Ready Made Pressure Garments are available in Cotton Lycra

Since the Lycra material used for pressure garments loses it's elasticity with continuous use (as is indicated) a garment needs to be tightened after a few weeks & more so if the garment is being used for oedema, once oedema starts reducing the garment becomes loose. Pressure garments if made with a zip (as per patient's requirement & request) have an inbuilt mechanism (with two or three layers of hooks & the zip) where patient himself can tighten a garment at least for 4 to 6 weeks. After that it has to be altered. If worn for a longer period, once the garment loses it's elasticity it becomes ineffective & will require replacement.


TO GET MAXIMUM OUT OF YOUR GARMENT
1. Wear it 24 hrs a day two sets of garments are preferred - one to wash and dry and the other one to wear
2. Extra strength by double locking system with hooks & zips is provided in majority of the garments.
3. Extra padding helps to loosen or tighten the garment as per requirement.
4. Clean the garment daily
5. Remove the garment for a 30 to 40 minutes period twice daily for bathing and lubricating the area.
6. Hand -wash in lukewarm water with a mild detergent soap & air-dry the garment.
7. Dry it at room temperature and not near fire, never with a hot iron., nor in a drier
8. Fabric is affected by an oily based solution. Hence it changes its colour with longer use.
9. With continuous use for 3-4 months, the garment will loose it elasticity, hence it will require replacement. 10. If any doubt about the correct fitness of the garment i.e. tightness or otherwise, don't cut it but get it altered.
11. After sales service i.e. periodical tightening if & when required, alterations are provided.

During hot summer months for the comfort of the patients, garment made from cotton Lycra are provided. Garments are also made from Soft Lycra. Uniform & calculated pressure exerted by the pressure garments meets the requirement of most of the surgical procedures. The garments exert equalized pressure over all requisite areas while still permitting comfort, mobility & muscular movements.
