IS to Skin Distance Measurement

Question 1

Instructor: What is the required IS-to-skin distance, and what steps should be taken if this distance is not met?

Answer 1

Trainee: The IS-to-skin distance must be ≤ 3.0 cm. If it exceeds 3.0 cm, lipectomy is recommended to reduce the distance. After lipectomy, the distance should not be less than 2.0 cm to ensure proper functionality and avoid complications.
