Womens Personal Health.net has compression sleeves and (hand gauntlet)gloves for treatment of swelling,edema, fluid retention of the arm and hand due to lymphedema from masectomy surgery.  Lymphedema (or "Lymphoedema", "lymphatic obstruction") is a condition of localized fluid retention caused by a compromised lymphatic system.. The lymphatic system (often referred to as the body's "second" circulatory system) collects and filters the intestinal fluid of the body. Lymphedema has been barely recognized as being a serious health problem; however, this is slowly changing due to education and awareness. The danger with lymphedema comes from the constant risk of developing an uncontrolled infection in the affected limb.  To assist you in your lymphedema needs, please visit our section of fitting charts.  A gauntlet is recommended be worn as a separate piece from an arm sleeve. This provides the wearer with the following advantages: increased flexibility for every day use. A gauntlet can be easily removed to perform every day chores without having to remove the entire arm sleeve.  Thank you for visiting Womens Personal Health.net.
