A compression/pressure tubular garment is a reusable medical device designed as a seamless tube that fits snugly over a limb to apply consistent or graduated pressure. It is used clinically to support circulation, manage conditions like venous insufficiency or lymphoedema, prevent deep vein thrombosis, and assist in scar control.
These devices are regulated as medical devices based on their intended use and risk profile, and are supplied for repeated use after appropriate cleaning. They are distinct from disposable binders, gloves, stockings, or standard tubular bandages due to their specific construction and sustained therapeutic function.
