When to wear your Jobskin® Classic garment

Please note

This Jobskin^® Classic garment has been expertly measured and designed for the user and must be worn by the user only. It must not be applied to anyone else.

It is important that you are measured and reviewed by a suitably qualified clinician experienced in measuring and fitting compression garments.

It is the responsibility of the treating clinician to review your garment and advise when a new garment is required. It is recommended that your garment should be checked by your clinician at least every 3 months for children and 4–6 months for adults to ensure fit and to review progress.

Worn, loose or damaged garments should be replaced, therefore, it is important to attend your regular review appointments.

You begin compression therapy as soon as a wound has closed and full pressure can be tolerated. This way, maximum use can be made of the time in which the scar is active.

Wearing Schedule:

It is important that Jobskin^® Classic pressure garments are worn consistently for between 12–24 months or until scar maturity for 23 hours a day. This ensures the full benefit is achieved for optimum results in scar management, both aesthetically and functionally
The garments are typically removed 3 times a day for bathing and creaming the scar and masks can be removed during meal times
Once you have the compression garment in place, ensure it lays smoothly against your skin and feels snug but not painful
It is advised that the fit of the garment is reviewed on a regular basis by the clinician to make sure that the desired effect is being achieved

Other factors that influence the duration of treatment:

The severity of the scarring
Genetics and hormones – healing responses may vary from person to person
Infection or delayed healing
The site of the scar and the surface affected
Compliance to treatment regime

Knee high stocking with open or closed toe
Sock above or below knee

Donning your Jobskin® Classic garment

Please follow the advice of your treating clinician before you wear this Jobskin^® Classic garment.

IMPORTANT: Please refer to these additional instructions if your garment contains Silon-TEX^® II inserts.

This device should be fitted and periodically checked by a suitably qualified person only

For all Jobskin^® Classic garments, please follow the standard instructions below before reading the specific donning instructions for your type of garment:

Donning and Doffing compression garments can be a little challenging at the start but they do stretch after a little wear. There are some general rules to live by that can assist with the garments as follows:

Read through the instructions for use, paying particular attention to Warnings and Precautions, and Additional Information regarding creams and oils, prior to donning your Jobskin^® Classic garment.
Use a silicone or water-based moisturiser and ensure it is dried well into the skin before donning your garment
It is advisable your garment is put on first thing in the morning and worn for 23 hours, only removing it for bathing purposes
Your clinician may also advise on aids to help with the donning and doffing of your garment
Ensure your hands are clean with no sharp fingernails or toenails that may damage the fabric, avoid sticking your fingernails into the fabric when pulling the garment on
Do not overstretch the material
Open all zips/fastenings
Temporarily remove jewellery from hands, wrists and ankles if applicable, whilst donning and doffing your garment. Jewellery such as stone encrusted rings may snag your garment

Fitting Instructions:

Lower Extremity Garments

Check the label on your Jobskin^® Classic garment for left or right, starting with the garment inside out, tuck the foot portion inside up to the heel and hold with both hands, seam facing down. Pull it up over your foot past the ankle, it should now be right side out. Adjust the garment so that the heel is in place.

Waist High Garments

Adjust your garment so that it is snug at your midsection. This will keep it from slipping down.
Slip your hands palm out, into the back and lift it away from your skin. Let it fall back to fit snugly over the buttocks

Arm Sleeves

Slip your hand through the entire sleeve keeping the seam in line with your little finger, ease the sleeve up your arm. It may be helpful to brace your hand against a wall. If a gauntlet is attached, the seam should run from palm to your hand, then curve over your elbow to your upper arm.

Gloves

Adjust the fingers by carefully pulling on the seams until the glove fits snugly into the web spaces between the fingers. Be sure the fabric is smoothed out evenly over the fingers and hand.

Face Masks

Please note: when pressure garments are used to manage children’s facial scarring, it is recommended that an orthodontic review is undertaken beforehand.

Open closure, hold chin in place by pressing chin against upper sternum or with one hand if you have assistance. Gather fabric and stretch over head. Adjust the facial features, the face mask must have the fabric distributed to fit properly. Adjustment may be made by slipping fingers through openings and placing were desired.

Torso Garments

Open closure, insert one arm at a time, adjust to fit snugly on each arm. Pull the two sides towards the centre and close zip. Make sure fabric is smooth and fitting snugly, when fitted, ensure there is no discomfort especially at the bend of the arms and axilla areas.

Indications

The management and prophylactic treatment of problem scarring, including hypertrophic and keloid scars caused by damage to the skin following burns, trauma or post-operative surgical scar complications.

The evidence gathered through international research shows that the early application of pressure therapy garments with the correct wearing regime is successful in helping to control the growth of abnormal scar tissue in problem scarring.

They are successful in producing a flatter, softer more pliable scar which results in an improved cosmetic appearance and reduction of potential contractures.

The continuous pressure provided by pressure garments can yield a high degree of non-surgical control of hypertrophic scar formation and scar contractures to achieve a softer, flatter and paler scar.

Contraindications

With a made-to-measure garment that is regularly checked by a health professional, contraindications are very rare.

Uncompensated organ failure (i.e. heart, liver, or renal)
Untreated deep vein thrombosis or phlebitis
Severe arterial disease (ABI 0.49 or less)
