restrictions for use during pregnancy.
Side effects:
Side effects may occur, especially if the arm sleeve does not fit properly or if it is worn
when at rest. There may be bruising, impaired blood flow due to pressure on blood vessels,
or impaired sensitivity due to excessive nerve compression. Sensitive individuals may
experience skin irritation (redness, itching, or blistering) in places where the compression
arm sleeve comes into contact with the skin.
Fitting your compression arm sleeve:
The proper fit is necessary to achieve the desired effect. Use the size chart to determine
the correct size by measuring limb circumference at the points indicated.
