Description
mediven harmony® compression armsleeve is a round-knit medical compression garment for the arms. The innovative knit gives mediven harmony® the perfect balance between freedom of movement and medical compression. Two integrated elbow ellipses reduce wrinkling in the bend of the arm. This prevents constriction, pressure areas and skin irritation.
The armsleeve is used for disorders of the venous system, such as arm vein thrombosis and postoperative and post-traumatic oedema. It is available with and without a hand piece. Wearing the medical compression garment counteracts oedema formation in the hand region. The armsleeve is available in seven standard sizes.
Intended purpose:
Round-knitted medical compression stocking used for compression of the upper extremities, mainly for the treatment of disorders of the venous and lymphatic systems.
