Key Features

• Extended Long Leg Coverage: Provides therapeutic compression from the upper abdomen down to just above the knees, ideal for procedures that include the full thighs and lower torso.
• Breathable Open-Weave Powernet Fabric: Constructed from a specialized, ventilated powernet that allows maximum air circulation to keep skin cool and dry, critical for comfort over large areas.
• Secure, Non-Binding Fit: Engineered with elastic edges that hold firmly in place without rolling, digging, or creating uncomfortable pressure points on sensitive post-surgical skin.
• Easy-Access Front Zippers: Features large, durable front zippers that facilitate unassisted donning and removal, as well as easy adjustment throughout the day.
• Latex-Free and Skin-Safe: Manufactured without latex to accommodate patients with sensitivities, using high-quality alternative elastic materials.
• Convenient Open Pubis Design: Includes a practical opening for hygiene and medical examinations without the need to completely remove the garment.
• Comprehensive Pressure Distribution: Delivers consistent, medical-grade compression across the entire treated area, from abdomen to upper thighs, to minimize fluid accumulation.
• Comfort-Optimized Seams: Seams are strategically placed to avoid direct contact with incision sites and to prevent irritation during prolonged wear.

Therapeutic Benefits and Use

• Controls Swelling in Large Treatment Zones: Effectively manages post-operative edema (swelling) across extensive surgical areas like the entire abdomen, flanks, and full thighs, promoting faster initial recovery.
• Minimizes Bruising and Discomfort: The consistent compression helps reduce the severity and duration of bruising while providing supportive pressure that can alleviate post-surgical pain and soreness.
• Supports Smooth Skin Retraction: Aids the skin in smoothly adhering to the new underlying contours following extensive liposuction or body lifts, which is crucial for an optimal aesthetic result.
• Enhances Early Mobility: By stabilizing the core and thighs, it can make walking and gentle movement more comfortable in the early post-op period, helping to prevent complications.
• Manages Scar Formation: Compression therapy can help improve the appearance of long incision scars (e.g., from a lower body lift) by keeping them flat and supple during the healing process.
• Ideal for Extensive Procedures: Specifically designed for recovery from 360 liposuction, lower body lifts, thigh lifts, and any surgery involving combined abdominal and full thigh contouring.
• Promotes Lymphatic Drainage: Assists the body's natural lymphatic system in removing excess fluid and metabolic waste products from large treated areas.
• Provides Psychological Reassurance: Wearing a full-coverage medical garment offers a sense of security and active participation in the recovery process following major surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between mid-thigh and long leg girdles?
The long leg version extends down to just above the knees, providing compression for the full thighs. Choose based on the areas your surgeon treated. If your procedure included knee-area or full thigh liposuction/lifts, the long leg is likely recommended.

How long will I need to wear this type of girdle?
Protocols vary, but for extensive procedures, full-time wear (23/7) is often recommended for 4-6 weeks or longer, followed by part-time wear for several more weeks. Your surgeon will give you a detailed schedule.

Is it difficult to put on a long leg girdle after surgery?
The front zippers make it easier than a pull-on style. It may still be challenging initially. Have a caregiver assist you, and consider donning it while lying down. Practice before surgery if possible.

Can I wash this girdle, and how often?
Yes, hand wash in cold water with mild detergent and air dry. Due to sweat and drainage, you may need to wash it every few days. Having two garments is highly recommended for hygiene and continuous wear.

Will this girdle fit my plus-size body?
JOBST garments come in a range of sizes. Accurate pre-surgical measurement is key. Consult the specific size chart and your surgeon's office for guidance on selecting the correct size for your body and expected post-op changes.

Can men use this girdle?
This model is designed for the female anatomy. Men seeking post-surgical compression should look for garments designed for male contours or consult their surgeon for appropriate product recommendations.
