This garment features a 100% latex-free fabric that offers enhanced support and more durable compression performance. The garment's silky and soft fabric is stretchable to make it easier to slip on and off, yet fiercely strong and durable. The fabric is remarkably lightweight and breathable to keep you clean, dry and fresh all day long. The fabric provides the compression control you need to optimize circulation and enhance healing, while giving you the "feel good" comfort that patients demand. The garment has adjustable shoulder straps, and a high back to provide additional compression in the upper back area. The Female Arm, Back & Shoulder Medium-Length Sleeve Compression Garment is appropriate for liposuction and arm procedures (lift, reduction, brachioplasty), as well as for arm procedures following gastric bypass or bariatric surgery.

Instructions For Use: The garment is typically worn immediately after the surgery and continuously for several days (or longer depending on the doctor's instructions). During the initial period of post-op, your doctor may instruct you to wear this garment constantly (even while sleeping) and only remove it when you need to go to the bathroom or to shower. As your healing progresses, you should be able to remove the garment for various activities. Once beyond the first few days of post-op and you are no longer required to wear the garment continuously, you may wear the garment on a non-continuous basis (for a certain number of hours a day) until 1-2 weeks post-op (or longer depending on the doctor). Generally, the amount of time you will need to wear your garment will be reduced as your move forward in your healing journey. The garment is worn like long underwear underneath your clothing. It is recommended to wear loose-fitting clothing over the garment. The garment can be worn with a full body garment for added upper body compression.
