Sizing

Tips for a Correct Fit:

For a good fit, measure each child according to the Sizing Guidelines; never select a size for your patient based on eye-balling the SPIO.

You should be able to place your hand between the child’s body (in the trunk area) and SPIO and feel significant resistance when you pull your hand away from the child’s body.

Approximately an inch of resistance is adequate. More and it’s too loose, less and it’s too tight.
