Compression sleeve with shoulder and narrow support strap, with glove (Class 2) LC-504.1

Most often, lymphostasis first appears on the periphery, in the palm area, and grows from the fingers to the shoulder. Depending on the extent of the swelling, it is recommended to wear a compression sleeve with or without a glove.

Benefits of wearing a compression sleeve:

1. Primary prevention of lymphostasis in the arm after mastectomy. The sleeve provides gentle compression, which helps improve lymph flow and reduce swelling in the hand.
2. Reducing the risk of other postoperative complications (venous thrombosis, infection) and accelerating the patient's rehabilitation.
3. Improving range of motion and reducing stiffness in the affected arm. This is especially important for patients who have a harder time recovering from radical traumatic surgery.
4. Improving quality of life. The anti-lymphostatic sleeve or glove allows patients to lead a normal lifestyle and engage in normal activities without worrying about the risk of developing lymphedema.

In the Republic of Moldova it is possible to buy compression sleeve for lymphostasis in the medical store Medhelper. They are made of a special breathable elastic fabric, using circular knitting technology, without the use of seams. They are designed to fit perfectly on the arm without causing discomfort and can be worn during daily activities, including work and exercise. To prevent the sleeve from slipping and rolling up, there is a special elastic strap that attaches either to the bra or through the opposite armpit.
