We know the frustration of waiting on a product you're certain will make all the difference for your patients. That's why every CTF-1 Lab participant walks out with more than just notes—you'll get a complete FirstKit with everything you need (tank top, hipster, starter strapping) to put your new skills to work immediately. No delays between learning and doing.
You will receive a sizing request form upon registration.
For each lab, you'll have access to a standard set of garmet systems in a variety of sizes and assessment tools. In addition, you'll leave with a FirstKit take home garment set yours to keep.
