Redi-Fit Woven Elastic Arm Sleeves are compression garments used to treat edema and hypertrophic scarring.
Treating Edema with Redi-Fit Woven Elastic Arm Sleeves
To treat mild edema (stage 0 or stage 1) the compression garment applies gradient pressure in order to keep lymph moving out of the arm. Lymphedema therapists can prescribe the exact amount of time the garment should be worn daily. Sometimes a glove is recommended to be worn with a sleeve in order to prevent lymphedema from occurring in the hand.
Treating Scarring with Redi-Fit Woven Elastic Arm Sleeves
Worn as a post surgery garment or to reduce hypertrophic and keloid scarring, the Redi-Fit Woven Elastic Arm Sleeves are a non-surgical approach to treatment. The scar reducing garment applies pressure to break up collagen bundles and soften the keloid mass.
Redi-Fit Woven Elastic Arm Sleeve Features:
The Redi-Fit Woven Elastic Arm Sleeves are designed with a special stretch-panel design that conforms to a variety of arm shapes and sizes. Made of a smooth, latex-free woven elastic fabric, the compression garment provides approximately 25 to 35mm Hg pressure.
Caring for Redi-Fit Woven Elastic Arm Sleeves
Redi-Fit Woven Elastic Arm Sleeves should be hand washed and air dried.
Sizing Redi-Fit Woven Elastic Arm Sleeves
To size, measure the circumference of the arm 1" to 1 1/2" (2.5 to 3.8cm) below the axilla.
