Styles & General
Information
Sleeved Body Brief |

-
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.
