Compression sleeves are garments crafted from stretchy and elastic materials, intended to be worn on different body parts to administer graduated compression. These sleeves are engineered to apply pressure to the limbs or joints, fostering improved circulation, minimizing swelling, and providing support to muscles and joints during physical activities.
The primary product types of compression sleeves include arm compression sleeves, bandages, leg compression sleeves, and others. Arm compression sleeves are garments worn on the arms to provide support and compression, commonly used in sports or for medical purposes. These sleeves employ various techniques such as static and dynamic compression and are distributed through various channels such as hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies, online sales, and hypermarkets. They find applications in various medical scenarios such as varicose veins, wound care, burns, oncology, among others.
