5.2.2. Hip width measurement
When the measured hip width falls between the applicable size ranges of two different devices, it is recommended
that the device of the bigger size be selected.
A 10 mm margin of safety is automatically included on each side by the hip width ruler provided, as shown below,
and is usually suitable if the measurement is taken loosely. If the device is still too tight, the user should adjust the
device for patient comfort at their discretion.
① Identify the hip joint location.
② Measure the hip width using the ruler provided, as shown above.
③ Select the waist part size which fits the wearer's hip width.
hip width: 12.4 ~ 14.4" (315 ~ 365 mm) Small
hip width: 14.0 ~ 15.9" (355 ~ 405 mm) Medium
hip width: 15.9 ~ 17.9" (405 ~ 455 mm) Large
