These are the starter kits that I created and provided to each site for immediate use, following the professional presentation to in-house colleagues in 2019. In 2020, I added double-sided velcro to the kit, as an alternative to seam tape, to bring the edges of the felt neoprene together. This was an improvement made based upon the feedback I received within three months after the presentation.
