Building a Compression Garment Range for Clinics and Distributors

When planning stock for clinics or distributors, consider procedures, patient profiles, product groups and size distribution together.

Plan the Range Around Procedures

Each clinic has a different patient profile and mix of procedures. Instead of starting with a broad standard inventory, identify core product groups based on the procedures performed most often.

Suitable options for common procedures such as liposuction, abdominoplasty and breast surgery can form the basis of an initial range.

How Should the Size Mix Be Planned?

Size distribution is an important part of stock planning alongside product variety. Equal stock of every size may not suit every clinic.

Review past patient measurements, sales data and commonly used styles to establish a more useful size mix.

Review the Range Regularly

Review the range regularly rather than leaving it unchanged. Usage, sales data, professional feedback and patient profiles may evolve.

Use this information to reduce rarely used styles and prioritise products or sizes needed more often.
