Fitting guidelines
SkinSleeves are intended to fit as a comfort product. Actual fit will depend on
individual anthropometric measurements and patient comfort level. Posey regular
SkinSleeves will stretch up to 100% in size (combination of both width and length).
Padded sizes have limited stretchability.
Inspect skin frequently for tears, lacerations, avulsions, abrasions,
infection or other damage and determine appropriate treatment. Change product
with new or laundered product in accordance with facility policy.
