Sleeved Body Brief

Sleeveless Suit to Above Knee
  • Gussets in the axillae help prevent abrasion to this sensitive area (gussets are better than linings at abrasion control).
  • Insert material can extend the entire length of a sleeve from armpit to wrist, or from wrist to waist in one continuous piece.
  • Pads can be built in to sleeve elbows or other sensitive areas.
  • Zippers are optional for lower extremity garments.
  • Vest and suit necklines can be standard, scooped, V-neck, or turtleneck. A scooped neckline on an adult garment extends 3 inches below the sternal notch unless a larger neckline is requested. The V-neck can be as deep as 5 - 6 inches. Turtlenecks extend up from the sternal notch either 1, 1½, 2, 2½, or 3 inches and may have a separate hook & loop closure.
  • If the burn is limited to the abdomen and waist, a tank top combined with a brief can be designed. This combination would allow the patient to wear normal clothes.
  • If donning the garment over the foot is particularly difficult for the patient, a heel insert or a full-length insert panel along the side of one or both legs may be used instead of a zipper.
  • The metatarsal heads is the best place to end a full-length leotard.
  • Leotards and briefs can be designed with an open crotch.

Important!
Custom-made pressure garments provide the constant, even pressure necessary to aid in preventing hypertrophic scarring and disfigurement. To be effective, the garments should be worn 24 hours a day, every day, until the scar tissue is mature, usually 9-14 months post-burn. A pressure garment maintains effective pressure for 2-3 months and then must be replaced. Alternating between several garments will aid in lengthening the life of the garments, although, in some cases of weight change, or spurts of rapid growth in children, more frequent re-measurement and replacement may be necessary.
