The No.1 solution for treating skin conditions with wet and dry wrap therapy

ComfiKIDS^™ready to wear garments provide the ideal solution for covering the skin when using steriods, heavy emolients or ointments for the treatment of common conditions such as eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis.

ComfiKIDS^™ garments have been developed to be used in conjunction with oils and emollients prescribed by healthcare professionals. By incorporating MultiStretch Technology^™, the garments are constructed to stretch in multiple directions, meaning they are easy to apply by the professional or parent. The garments offer additional comfort and are discreet to wear under clothing.

With superior SteamSoft Technology™, the garments are not only ready to wear but also suitable for machine washing, allowing them to be re-used again and again whilst still retaining their softness.

ComfiKIDS™ garments are also an ideal solution for securing dressings in difficult areas of the body, such as the chest and groin.

The garments are designed to fit each area of the body, ranging from a clava for the head through to socks for the feet, allowing the patient to live an active day and a restful night!

Ideal for wet and dry wrap therapy

Wet and dry wrap therapy is a technique developed to treat the symptoms of Atopic Eczema. Using this technique with ComfiWEAR™ or ComfiKIDS™ garments, will reduce itching, improve sleep and increase comfort – helping patients to carry on with a normal life, night and day.

Wet Wrap Therapy

Step 1 - Choose the garments to be used for each area of the body that needs to be wrapped. You will need two pieces of each garment – so if it’s the legs, you will need two pairs of leggings or tights (dependent on age).

Step 2 - Place one garment into a bowl of warm water and leave to soak. Wet wraps have a cooling, anti-itch effect and helps add needed moisture to the skin.

Step 3 - Bathe with the appropriate bath oil or emollient recommended by your Healthcare Professional. After bathing, pat the skin dry and apply any steroids or emollients that have been prescribed or recommended.

Step 4 - Remove the garment from the water and squeeze out any excess water.

Step 5 - While still warm, put on the garment over the emollients. (Remember the label and seams should be on the outside).

Step 6 - Put on the second, dry layer of the garment and then dress as normal.

The decision to wet wrap should only be done so under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Do not wet wrap if eczema appears wet or infected or if the child is unwell. If in doubt please contact your healthcare professional.

Dry Wrap therapy

Step 1 - Choose the garments to be used for each area of the body that needs to be wrapped. If it’s the legs, you will need one pair of leggings or tights (dependent on age).

Step 2 - Bathe with the appropriate bath oil or emollient recommended by your Healthcare Professional. After bathing, pat the skin dry and apply any steroids or emollients that have been prescribed or recommended.

Step 3 - Put on a single dry layer of the garment over the emollients and dress as normal. (Remember the label and seams should be on the outside).

If you have a small patch of skin to wrap, the above steps can be repeated using ComfiFAST™ Tubular or ComfiFAST™ Multistretch Tubular Bandages. Simply cut the bandage to the appropriate size and follow the steps.

Your Healthcare Professional will recommend the most appropriate treatment and provide advice on bathing and emollient products.
