How to choose a 20-30 mmHg sleeve

Fit, use, and safety guidance
- Measure at the time of day recommended by the product size chart and compare each point carefully.
- A 20-30 mmHg garment should feel firm and even, without sharp folds, rolling, or pinching at the edges.
- Put sleeves on gradually and smooth the fabric so pressure is distributed across the intended area.
- For sport use, test the sleeve during a short session before wearing it for a long event or full shift.
- Check skin comfort after wear and pause use if numbness, color change, or unusual discomfort appears.
