Compression/pressure glove

Compression/pressure gloves are wearable garments designed to fit snugly over the hand, providing even or graduated pressure to reduce swelling, control edema, and minimize scarring from conditions like arthritis or injuries. They are also used to manage lymphoedema by improving fluid circulation and reducing discomfort in affected areas.

These gloves are typically made from elastic materials like cotton, Lycra, or Spandex and may include finger openings or extend to the wrist, elbow, or underarm. As reusable devices, they are regulated based on their intended use and design, with compliance requirements varying by jurisdiction. They do not incorporate antimicrobial treatments or function as binders or bandages.
