Key Features

---

• Firm 20-30 mmHg Graduated Compression: Provides a higher level of therapeutic pressure necessary to reduce persistent or pronounced swelling and manage more advanced lymphedema.
• Integrated One-Piece Sleeve & Gauntlet: Eliminates the gap between separate garments, ensuring firm compression is applied continuously from the upper arm through the hand for maximized therapeutic effect.
• Comfortable, Secure Knit Top Band: Designed to anchor the sleeve comfortably without the need for specialized silicone, providing a secure fit suitable for all-day wear under clothing.
• Durable, High-Tensile Fabric: Constructed from a robust blend of materials (typically high nylon/spandex) engineered to sustain and deliver firm compression over months of daily use.
• Breathable Despite Firm Pressure: Incorporates breathable yarns and knitting techniques to maintain comfort and skin health even under the stronger compression level.
• Simplifies a Complex Therapy Regimen: Combining the sleeve and gauntlet into a single garment reduces the steps required for daily donning, encouraging compliance with wear time.
• Precision Engineered Gradient: Applies the scientifically calibrated pressure gradient (highest at the hand/wrist, decreasing upward) required for effective management of firm compression cases.
• Discreet Medical Profile: Maintains a low-profile, medical aesthetic that is functional and can be worn discreetly, prioritizing therapy over cosmetic features.

Therapeutic Benefits and Use

---

• Manages Moderate to Severe Edema and Lymphedema: Delivers the necessary force to reduce significant swelling (edema) and control fluid accumulation in advanced or stubborn cases of upper limb lymphedema.
• Controls Post-Surgical Swelling After Major Procedures: Essential for managing pronounced edema following extensive surgeries (e.g., orthopedic reconstruction, cancer-related surgeries) to the arm or shoulder.
• Supports Robust Venous and Lymphatic Return: The firm gradient provides strong assistance for healthy blood flow and efficient lymphatic drainage against greater fluid resistance.
• Addresses Chronic Venous Insufficiency with Significant Symptoms: Manages the more substantial heaviness, aching, and swelling associated with advanced chronic venous insufficiency in the arms.
• Helps Prevent Tissue Fibrosis: Early and consistent application of firm compression can help prevent the hardening of skin and subcutaneous tissue (fibrosis) that complicates long-term edema.
• Post-Traumatic Edema Management: Effective for controlling swelling resulting from significant injuries such as complex fractures or crush injuries to the arm.
• Stabilizes Limb Volume: Aids in achieving and maintaining a more stable arm circumference, which is a key goal in long-term lymphedema management programs.
• Enables Rehabilitation: By controlling swelling, it can make physical therapy and range-of-motion exercises more comfortable and effective during recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

---

Who typically needs the 20-30 mmHg compression level?
This level is often recommended for moderate to severe lymphedema, persistent post-surgical swelling that hasn't resolved with lighter compression, or for the management of chronic venous insufficiency with significant symptoms. It is a medical-grade device used under professional guidance.

How do I choose the right size for a compression armsleeve?
Accurate measurement is absolutely crucial, especially for firm compression. An ill-fitting firm sleeve can be dangerous or ineffective. Measurements must be taken by a trained therapist or using a JOBST-approved guide at specific arm points. Self-sizing is not recommended for this class.

Is this sleeve difficult to put on?
Firm compression garments are more challenging to don. Using a donning aid (like a slippery stocking or a special frame) is highly recommended to protect the garment's integrity, ensure correct application, and reduce strain on your hands and the sleeve.

How do I care for a firm compression sleeve?
Hand wash only in lukewarm water with a mild, neutral pH detergent. Gently squeeze out water—do not wring. Lay perfectly flat to dry away from heat and sunlight. Never tumble dry, iron, or dry clean, as heat destroys the elastic fibers.

Can I wear this sleeve at night?
Typically, no. Firm compression sleeves are for daytime wear while you are upright and active. Nighttime wear is usually only with specific, lower-pressure night garments recommended by your therapist. Always follow your specific wear schedule.

What are the signs that the sleeve needs replacing?
Signs include: the fabric feels loose or baggy, you can pinch excess material easily, the sleeve rolls down frequently, or your swelling is no longer as well-controlled. Firm sleeves may need replacement every 3-4 months with daily wear.
