Wearing your garment
WARNING
Do not put on the garment if your affected leg has open wounds. The
system is only intended to contact intact skin. Ensure any wounds are
adequately covered with wound dressing prior to use.
Prepare the garment by loosening the self-fastening tabs from ankle
to thigh but do not remove the tabs around the foot sole. The
self-fastening tabs on the foot are only there for minor adjustments
to achieve a good fit, after initially putting the garment on.
Follow the below step by step instructions to fit your garment.
Lay garment out flat and place
your leg over the top of it
Place foot into the garment and
wrap it over your leg
Make sure its tucked into the
underside of your leg securely
Secure the two bottom
tabs first
Move your way up the garment,
securing the tabs for a tight fit
Once all tabs are secured, you
are ready for therapy

10
Your garment should have a tight but not restrictive fit, like a yoga
pant. It is important to avoid wearing anything underneath your
garment that may hamper the lymph flow. These items include: pants
with heavy seams, compression stockings, zippers. You may wear
loose-fitting, non-elastic clothes, sheer liners or place the garment
directly on intact skin.
Using your garment extenders
Garment extenders are provided to extend the self-fastening tabs in
cases where the pneumatic garment does not wrap around the entire
leg. Each Aria Free system comes with seven (7) extenders, one for
each tab. To use the extenders, lay them out and attach the dark
grey side to self-fastening tabs. NOTE: Only attach the extenders to
the tabs which do not fit.
Once you have attached the extenders, follow the instructions found
in the “Wearing your garment” to achieve a good fit.
