Application Instructions:
We occasionally get
questions from nurses and patients on how to correctly apply our surgical
garments. We understand that in many circumstances, patients will wake up
in the post-op room with the garment already on and will receive no instruction
on future applications. While we try to make them easy to apply, failure
to apply the garment correctly can detract from the end results. To
facilitate the application process, we have listed application instructions for
most of our garments.
