Frequently Asked Questions
Is Juzo better than JOBST for lymphedema?
Juzo's lymphedema and containment range — Dynamic (Varin), Juzo Soft, and custom-made garments — is unusually deep, and many lymphedema therapists work with it daily. JOBST answers on the wrap side with FarrowWrap. The right garment for lymphedema is always a decision to make with your provider or therapist.
Do Juzo sizes run the same as JOBST?
No. Each brand — and each series within a brand — has its own measurement-based size chart. Always re-measure when switching brands.
Which lasts longer?
Both are premium medical brands built for months of daily wear with proper care. Juzo's knits have a particularly strong reputation for durability, which is part of why therapists favor them for garments worn hard every day.
Which is cheaper?
Prices are broadly comparable at the same level and style. JOBST Relief and Juzo Basic (4400) are each brand's value line — compare those two if budget is the priority.
