A compression hand gauntlet or lymphedema glove 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 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 for your condition. 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 and doff (put on and 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.

FAQs About Compression Gloves And Hand Gauntlets

Compression gloves and gauntlets are specialized garments designed for managing lymphedema, arthritis, and other medical conditions that affect the hand, wrist, and forearm. Below are some of the most frequently asked questions about Sigvaris compression gloves and hand gauntlets.

• How Do Compression Gloves And Hand Gauntlets Help Treat 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.

• What Is The Difference Between A Compression Glove And A Hand Gauntlet

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).

• What Are The Most Common Levels Of Compression Available In Lymphedema Gloves And Compression Gauntlets

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:

• 15-20 mmHg (mild compression)
• 20-30 mmHg (moderate compression)
• 30-40 mmHg (firm compression)
• What Does mmHg Mean In Compression Gloves And Hand Gauntlets

Millimeters of mercury (mmHg) is a unit of measurement for pressure. For hand compression gloves and gantlets, mmHg specifies the amount of pressure (tightness) that the glove or gauntlet applies to your hand and wrist. Higher mmHg numbers represent more pressure.

• How Do I Chose The Right Size And Type Of Hand Compression Glove Or Hand Gauntlet

For all of our Sigvaris compression gloves and hand gauntlets, we have sizing charts from the manufacturer. For most hand compression gloves and compression gauntlets, you will take multiple measurements to ensure the correct fit. Your healthcare provider will recommend the compression level.

• Can I Perform Everyday Activities While Wearing Compression Gloves Or A Hand Compression Gauntlet

Most compression gloves and gauntlets are specially designed to allow for normal hand, wrist, and arm movements, which should allow you to do most of your normal activities without restriction.

• How Tight Should My Hand Compression Glove Or Gauntlet Be

Your Sigvaris hand compression glove or hand compression gauntlet should be snug, but not painfully tight. Compression gloves for hands and compression gauntlets should apply steady pressure without restricting or cutting off your circulation.

• How Long Should I Wear My Compression Glove Or Compression Gauntlet Each Day

Your healthcare provider should make specific recommendations. In general, however, lymphedema compression gloves and hand gauntlets should be worn during waking hours.

• Can I Wear My Compression Glove Or Gauntlet While I Sleep

Your healthcare provider should make specific recommendations. In general, however, wearing compression gloves or hand gauntlets while you are sleeping is not recommended. In part, this is because the circulatory dynamics of your body change when you are not moving, and the garments could cause constriction and impede your blood circulation.

If your healthcare provider does recommend compression at night, there are specialized nighttime wear compression garments.

• How Do I Care For And Clean My Hand Compression Glove Or Compression Gauntlet

Follow the manufacturer’s specific instructions. In general, however, you should hand wash compression gloves and gauntlets in lukewarm water with mild soap, rinse them thoroughly, and air dry them. It is important to avoid wringing or twisting the compression gloves and gauntlets (which can stretch or damage the fabric).

• How Often Should I Replace My Hand Compression Glove Or Hand Gauntlet

Compression gloves and gauntlets lose elasticity (and effectiveness) over time and generally should be replaced every 3-6 months.

• Do I Need A Prescription To Get A Hand Compression Glove Or Gauntlet

No. You can order all of our compression gloves and gauntlets without a prescription. However, we do recommend that you consult with your healthcare professional to ensure that you get the recommended garment, if you are unsure as to what you need.

• Do Insurance Companies Cover Compression Gloves And Gauntlets

Some insurance plans cover compression gloves and gauntlets, if you have a prescription. Check with your insurance provider for specifics about your coverage. We also do recommend that you consider self-pay vs insurance to determine the best option for yourself.

• Can I Use My FSA Or HSA To Purchase My Sigvaris Compression Gloves / Compression Gauntlet

The likely answer is yes, and especially if you are purchasing a medical grade compression glove or compression gauntlet of 20-30mm Hg compression and higher. You will need to check with your FSA/HSA plan administrator regarding the details of your particular plan.
