Scar Therapy Compression Pants & Leggings

They are full-coverage pressure garments that apply even compression over the legs, hips and abdomen, and they are used as part of the management of burn and surgical scars as advised by a clinician. The Juzo ScarPrime Direct 3016 range is knitted at 20 – 23 mmHg and is described by Juzo as a first-response garment, intended to be worn as soon as wound healing allows. Whether this type of garment is right for you, and when to begin, is a decision for your treating doctor or for a fitting with our specialist.

Scar pressure garments are generally worn for long periods through the day and night, and the wearing schedule is set by the clinician managing your scar, not by us. The ScarPrime Direct leggings have a wide, secure high waistband and zippers on both the left and right sides, so they can be opened for donning and doffing without straining a surgical site. Work the garment up gradually and smooth out wrinkles as you go rather than pulling from the top band, and ask us about donning aids such as Arion Easy-Slide or grip gloves if it is difficult.

You can book a fitting at our clinic at 610 Clover Bay Tower, Business Bay, Dubai (30–45 minutes), a home visit in Dubai or Abu Dhabi (45–60 minutes), or a guided video consultation (20–30 minutes). In-clinic and virtual fittings are free when a garment is bought from us; a home visit may carry a travel fee depending on the area, which a colleague confirms when booking. Wear loose clothing that gives easy access to the legs and abdomen, and bring your doctor's referral if you have one. Our fitting specialists are certified in medical compression therapy and trained by Juzo in Germany.

The Juzo ScarPrime Direct FT 3016 (men and women) and BT 3016 (women) come in standard sizes and are held in stock, with the BT cut for the female anatomy and running from the ankles up to the abdomen. Custom flat-knit garments are made to your own measurements at Juzo in Germany and take 2 to 4 weeks from the day the measurements are confirmed, with over 30 colours and standard, antibacterial Silver or skin-friendly Cotton fabrics. Every custom flat-knit therapeutic garment requires a prescription; a fitting with our specialist will establish which route suits your measurements.

Machine wash at 40 C on a gentle cycle in a mesh laundry bag, using a detergent made for compression garments. Do not use fabric softener, do not tumble dry and do not iron, as heat and softener break down the elastic fibres and the garment stops compressing correctly. A medical compression garment typically lasts 4 to 6 months of daily wear, so replacing about every six months is normal; many people keep a second pair so one can be washed while the other is worn.
