A lymphedema glove or compression hand gauntlet is usually worn during the secondary, or "maintenance" phase of lymphedema treatment which occurs after completion of lymphedema complete decongestive therapy (CDT). Hand compression gloves and hand gauntlets are made in a variety of sizes and colors, and are specially designed to fit the various anatomical structure of the hand and fingers. A hand compression gauntlet provides gradient compression over the dorsum of your hand, while a lymphedema glove provides extended compression to the fingers. Jobst also offers matching arm sleeves for lymphedema, that can be used along with the hand compression gauntlet or hand compression glove to provide complete upper extremity compression for treating lymphedema of the arm.
Hand compression gloves for lymphedema and hand gauntlets are rated as to the amount of compression they apply, and it is important to choose the correct compression level that is required. This compression is measured in units referred to as millimeters of mercury or “mmHg” and should selected for treatment as follows.
- Class 0: 15 - 20 mmHg – for those at risk for lymphedema
- Class I: 20 - 30 mmHg – for those at risk, or who have early or mild lymphedema
- Class II: 30 - 40 mmHg – for moderate or severe lymphedema
While hand compression gauntlets and lymphedema gloves may be difficult to don (put on) and doff (take off) there are an array of donning and doffing aids which will make it easy to put on and take off compression garments. Also be sure to protect your compression garment investment by using compression garment cleaners and detergents that are specially formulated for compression garments such as hand compression gloves for lymphedema.

Hand compression gloves and compression gauntlets apply gentle pressure to the hand, fingers, and/or forearm to promote lymph fluid drainage, which can help reduce the swelling and discomfort caused by lymphedema.
A compression glove covers your entire hand, including your fingers. Hand gauntlets cover your hand, but leave your fingers free (only providing compression from your wrist to the base of your fingers).
Lymphedema compression gloves and compression gauntlets are categorized by the amount of pressure they apply to the body, measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). The levels of compression can vary in hand compression gloves and hand gauntlets, but the most common ones are:
