How to wear AirBands

Note: Users are advised to seek advice from a medical practitioner prior to wearing and using AirBands.

A soft padding or undergarment should be placed around the limb before applying an AirBands cuff. This can help reduce wrinkling, pinching, and shearing of the soft tissue. 

It is also important for cuffs to be applied correctly, to ensure AirBands can accurately calibrate and detect limb pressure at all times.

To apply an Upper Limb Cuff:

  1. Place the cuff on your arm where there is the largest circumference, (directly over the deltoid tuberosity).
  2. Ensure the module is facing forward, and the AirBands logo can be read the right way up.
  3. Fasten the cuff in the correct position, by wrapping the velcro band through the metal loop. 
  4. Ensure you leave enough room under the cuff for two fingers between the skin and the band.
