2 Dear Medical Professional, My co-workers and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for partnering with us in providing a comprehensive lymphedema management program for people living with lymphedema. It truly is a pleasure. We consider ourselves fortunate to have jobs we love, a product that is making a difference, and professional relationships we truly enjoy. Since our last catalog, we have worked with many physicians, therapists, and fitters who have taken their time to make suggestions, try new ideas, and offer their personal and professional opinions. Tribute is not the creation of a single person nor company; it is the collaboration between the clients, physicians, therapists, fitters, and the employees of Solaris. We were recently pleased to see an article in the Journal of Lymphology which highlights the important part that Tribute plays in the treatment of lymphedema. Compressive bandages, when applied incorrectly, can be harmful and/or useless. Accordingly, such multilayer wrapping should be carried out only by professionally trained personnel. Newer manufactured devices to assist in compression (i.e., pull on, velcroassisted, quilted, etc.) may relieve some patients of the bandaging burden and perhaps facilitate compliance with the full treatment program and some clinics find that patient selfcare and risk reduction (although neither of these has undergone rigorous study) Consensus Document of the International Society of Lymphology Journal of Lymphology Vol. 42, No. 2, pg. 56 It is important to us that we continue to grow and improve as a company. To that end, please contact us if you ever have a suggestion or complaint. Thank you again for your business and friendship. My Best Regards, Kathy Weatherly, OTR, CLT-LANA President

6 This garment is intended for clients with edema and/or tissue fibrosis at the foot and/or ankle region. Most commonly ordered with LE-BG-C. This garment provides a defined foot sole and ankle definition. A standard heel assist loop is provided to aid donning. Combine with We a Toe Swell Spots (SP-14) to address tissue fibrosis of individual toes. Chevron style channels from toes to knee provides bi-directional flow - medial to lateral and distal to proximal. Defined foot and ankle provide enhanced definition and greater comfort. Now featuring a standard heel assist loop to aid donning. Ideal for clients with edema and/or tissue induration at the foot, ankle, and lower leg, particularly if the popliteal lymph nodes have been damaged or removed. Choose this style for patients with ankle skin folds or disproportional ankle to calf girths. Tribute garments provide approximately mmhg compression at the ankle. Adding an Outer Jacket (OJ) will increase the compression by approximately 10 mmhg. 6 SOLARIS Questions? Please call

8 Formerly LE-AF-C, this Chevron Channel style provides bi-directional gradient flow - medial to lateral and distal to proximal, from toes to groin. Bi-directional gradient follows MLD concepts directing fluid to the collateral lymphatic pathways. This design has been substantially redesigned since it was originally patented. Defined foot and ankle provide enhanced definition and greater comfort. This garment offers lateral hip coverage and now includes a heel assist loop to ease donning. For clients who have skin folds, we recommend that you use Crescent Swell Spots (SP-13) in lobular crevices to support the tissue and aid resolution of indurate tissue. 8 SOLARIS Questions? Please call

9 This garment is appropriate for clients who have full involvement in one quadrant and partial proximal involvement in the contralateral quadrant. You will need to use two leg order forms when ordering this style of garment. Use the Comments Section to indicate if the client has a pear, apple, hour-glass, or straight figure shape. The zipper may be placed on the lateral or medial seam to ease donning/doffing. Visit us at SOLARIS 9

The strap is Velcro-receptive and foam padded for ease of adjustment and comfort. When ordering, we will need the angular straddle measurement, beginning at the AC joint, crossing the chest to under the arm, then across the back to the AC joint (NL).
