It may also be used over the shoulder and scapula where other types of more invasive immobilization were usually necessary and has also been effectively utilized as postmammoplasty support, as facial and postrhytidectomy dressings, and over leg grafts. Furthermore, it can be used for postpilonidal and axillary pad dressings.
