Compression Arm Sleeve for Lymphedema and Swelling | Onyx Arm Sleeve

Q: How does the Compression Arm Sleeve for Lymphedema and Swelling | Onyx Arm Sleeve work?

The Onyx Arm Sleeve uses graduated compression technology (20-30 mmHg or 30-40 mmHg) to apply gentle, consistent pressure that decreases from the wrist toward the shoulder. This graduated compression helps improve lymphatic drainage, reduces swelling, and promotes better circulation, making it effective for managing lymphedema and post-surgical swelling.

Q: What compression levels are available and which one should I choose?

The Onyx Arm Sleeve comes in two medical-grade compression classes: Class 1 (20-30 mmHg) for mild to moderate lymphedema and Class 2 (30-40 mmHg) for moderate to severe lymphedema. Class 1 is typically recommended for daily wear and prevention, while Class 2 provides stronger compression for more advanced lymphedema management. Always consult your healthcare provider to determine the appropriate compression level for your condition.

Q: Is the Compression Arm Sleeve for Lymphedema and Swelling comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes, the Onyx Arm Sleeve is designed with moisture-wicking, breathable fabric that keeps your skin dry and comfortable throughout the day. The latex-free material prevents allergic reactions, and the graduated compression design ensures the sleeve stays in place without rolling or bunching, making it suitable for extended daily wear.

Q: What sizes and lengths are available for the Onyx Arm Sleeve?

The sleeve is available in Small, Medium, and Large sizes, with two length options: Short (14.5-17 inches) and Long (17-22 inches). This range of sizing ensures a proper fit for different arm lengths and circumferences, which is crucial for effective compression therapy and comfort.

Q: Can I wear the Compression Arm Sleeve for Lymphedema and Swelling during exercise or daily activities?

Absolutely! The moisture-wicking fabric and secure fit make the Onyx Arm Sleeve ideal for exercise, work, and daily activities. The compression actually helps improve circulation during movement, and the breathable material prevents overheating.

Q: How do I care for and maintain my Onyx Arm Sleeve?

To maintain the compression effectiveness and extend the life of your sleeve, hand wash in cool water with mild detergent and air dry. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and high heat, as these can damage the compression fibers. With proper care, your Onyx Arm Sleeve will maintain its therapeutic compression for 3-6 months of regular use.
