The Garment Fund
We are please to be able to connect a limited number of patients with an opportunity for a free garment in 2025 thanks to our generous sponsors, Medi Juzo and Sigvaris.
Patients are welcome to apply, with an LAO member Therapist or Retailer/Fitter providing the referral.
Also, when practitioners see a patient who is in need and cannot pay for garments, they can nominate them for consideration to the Garment program.
Things you need to know before applying:
- Open to Ontario residents only.
- Registration fee of $50 for administration, to be applied after approval.
- A patient can only apply once (lifetime).
- No replacements or returns.
- Your measurements must have been taken within the last 2 weeks.

- For custom garments, only essential options are provided. I.e. silicone band, lining.
- Only one garment per patient (exceptions made for bilateral limbs).
