How to use it
Set-up, use and care
- 1
We take a full set of measurements — wrist, forearm, elbow, upper arm and length — with the swelling controlled, usually after therapy.
- 2
Turn the sleeve inside out to the wrist, slide the hand through, then roll it up and press the silicone band flat on the upper arm.
- 3
Smooth the elbow insert and expansion panel so no fabric folds behind the joint.
- 4
Hand wash daily in cool water, air dry flat, and bring it in for a re-measure when the arm changes size.
Description
Bio-Concepts builds each sleeve to the patient: sleeve to the axilla with a silicone-lined band at the top, a soft posterior expansion panel, and an anterior elbow insert so the sleeve does not fight the joint. Because it is cut to the measurement form rather than a size chart, it fits arms that off-the-shelf garments cannot cover well. Five fabric weights and a wide color range.
