Compression/pressure shirt/pants

Compression/pressure shirts and pants are specialized garments designed to fit snugly over the torso, hips, or shoulders to provide even or graduated pressure. Clinically, they support skin and subcutaneous tissue healing, reduce swelling by managing interstitial fluid, and help prevent or minimize scarring, often used post-surgery or for chronic conditions like lymphedema.

These devices are typically reusable and made from elastic materials like cotton or synthetic fabrics, sometimes with absorbent pads for added comfort. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their intended use and risk level, with compliance requirements often tied to safety, material standards, and performance claims. Always check local regulatory guidelines for specific device approvals.
