Important information for
practitioners and patients:
Please note that the limb is
always treated in its entirety
with medical compression.
This means that compression
products for the arm begin at the
hand or the wrist, and some
extend up to just below the
elbow or beyond to below the
axilla.
For a variety of reasons, the
compression garment may be
divided into individual segments,
e.g. for production reasons, to
enhance treatment compliance,
or for easier handling.
A compression garment
exclusively for the upper arm for
the indications only appropriate
when used under the direct
supervision and on the
recommendation of a Physician.
In certain circumstances where
improperly prescribed or applied,
a partial limb compression can
damage the patient's health or
lead to constriction or stasis.
Pictures of products that, for
instance, show a compression
garment on the upper arm only
are, in this case, solely for the
sake of clarity (product details,
pattern, attachment, clear
illustration of donning and
doffing), and are not a guide to
medical/therapeutic care.
