Sigvaris introduces a new arm sleeve

Just got an email from lymphedemaproducts. It's reasonably priced (for LE..) and comes in 15-20 mm and also with an attached gauntlet. When I googled it, it's sold online by a lot of decent companies, so perhaps the price varies.

Here's the blurb on the page:

The Advance Armsleeve was developed by Sigvaris with the help of patients and clinicians to create a garment that meets medical efficacy standards and exceeds expectations. Compression garments have long been used in the treatment of lymphedema, but in the past, patients struggled with compliance due to lack of comfort and improper fit. With comfort in mind, the Sigvaris research and development team has created a new product that ensures compliance and patient comfort. In fact, it's already been very well received in other countries around the world. The Advance Armsleeve combines the latest fabric technologies with a breathable top band for enhanced comfort making it a leading treatment choice for patients with lymphedema worldwide. The Advance Armsleeve features: (1) a Sensinnov® grip-top to help keep the armsleeve in place without damaging the fragile skin of the upper arm; (2) thermal control & moisture-wicking properties to enhance comfort for year round wear; (3) silver ions to help maintain skin hygiene; (4) availablility in Regular and Long lengths; (5) a Plus size option for the upper mid-arm

Wicking and silver ions sound like a nice recipe for comfort during hot activity.  Thanks for posting, Kira!
