FAQs
To find the right size, measure the circumference of your arm at specific points — usually the wrist, forearm and upper arm — and match those measurements to the sizing chart provided with the product. If you're using a compression bandage for the arm, the length and width will depend on the area needing support.
Compression levels typically range from light (15–20 mmHg) to medical-grade (30–40 mmHg or higher). The appropriate level depends on your condition — mild swelling may only require a lighter sleeve, while post-surgical care or lymphoedema often needs firmer support. A healthcare professional or one of our trained team members can help you choose the right compression level.
Yes. Many of our compression arm sleeves and compression stockings for the upper limb are designed specifically for lymphoedema management, post-mastectomy care and post-operative swelling. Be sure to check the product description or ask our staff for recommendations suited to your recovery plan.
It’s easiest to apply compression garments in the morning when swelling is minimal. Roll the sleeve or bandage onto the arm gradually, avoiding folds or wrinkles. Donning devices can also make the process easier. To remove, roll the sleeve downward gently without pulling or yanking to preserve the garment’s elasticity.
No prescription is required to purchase compression garments from us. However, if you're managing a medical condition such as lymphoedema or chronic swelling, we recommend consulting a healthcare professional to ensure you select the appropriate compression level and garment type.
