Night garments

Zillsnot4me

anyone tried the Jobst Relax nighttime garment? Looks a lot more comfortable than the oven mitt.

I'm tired of the heat and humidity, if being bandaged and unable to do much.

Hi, Zillsnot,

Thanks for the link--interesting! I haven't tried it, but found this review of the leg garment that gives an idea of the wearability of it:

Available from Bandages Plus (and probably other on-line suppliers), but the cost is around $590, and it's custom so has to be measured by your therapist or regular LE fitter.

Still, looks promising!

did you end up getting this sleeve? I just got one and am having some problems with it

Zillsnot4me

no I didn’t. What problems are you having?

the gauntlet ended up pushing a bunch of fluid into my fingers. I ended up getting just the Relax sleeve (without gauntlet) and then added a box glove and that seems to be working very well! I love the relax sleeve, it is very comfortable and breathable.
