When Should a Patient Be Measured Again?

Explains the importance of new measurements when swelling decreases, a garment becomes loose or body circumferences change.

When New Measurements May Be Needed

There is no single schedule for taking new measurements. The decision depends on the patient's recovery and the garment's current fit.

Considerations When Measuring Again

Repeat measurements at the same points and with the same technique used initially. Measurements taken at different points cannot be reliably compared.

If the measurements suggest a smaller size, check its suitability at every key point. Do not choose a smaller size simply for greater tightness.
