CARE AND USE INSTRUCTIONS
When applying and caring for your Caromed compression garment at home, please follow these instructions carefully. your garment is a medical device, designed and manufactured to help provide you with optimal cosmetic results. Caromed recommends that someone assist you with your at-home garment application. Again, follow the instructions one step at a time, and take your time. Application of your Caromed garment is a step-by-step process. Caromed garments are designed for ease of application; however, since this garment is a medical device, we ask that you follow all instructions carefully for best results.

To apply your Caromed garment at home: If you have just showered, make certain that you are completely dry before applying your Caromed garment. Assume a seated position on a bed or comfortable chair. If at any time during the application of your girdle, you become fatigued, please take a minute to rest.

If you are using a girdle, read on: While seated, fasten the girdle up to the knee area. Secure both the hook & eyes closures and zippers. Remain seated, step into the girdle and position the girdle properly, gently pulling the girdle into place. While standing propped near your chair or bed, pull the girdle up making sure to position the crotch opening as far up as possible. Fasten the remaining hook & eye closures on one side only. Carefully pull up the zipper. Now fasten the hook & eye closures on the remaining side. This side will be somewhat more difficult to secure and we recommend that someone be present to provide assistance. After the hook & eye closures are secured, carefully zip up this side. Important: If the zipper becomes snagged – STOP IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT attempt to force the zipper in any direction. Remove the entire garment completely. This alleviates the tension placed on the zipper. you now will be able to gently work with the zipper until it is freed from the facing. Urination: Caromed recommends that all female patients purchase a small, flexible plastic funnel to position close to the perineum when voiding. This will prevent accidental splashing or spraying of the garment. Voiding in the standing position will probably be more comfortable the first few days following surgery. Elimination: We recommend that you unzip one side, drop the flap, hold securely to one side and elimination can be accomplished quite easily without soiling the garment. Laundering: Caromed recommends that you hand wash your Caromed garment in lukewarm water with a mild soap or detergent, then air dry. Please do not dry your garment in an electric or gas dryer as this may ruin the garment.

To remove bloodstains, simply soak your garment in a basin of cool water to which 1/4 cup of peroxide has been added. Then launder and let air-dry.
