ActiLymph® Class 2 Arm Sleeve with Grip Top

An EU Class 2 arm sleeve that holds itself up on a grip top

The grip top is the point of this sleeve. It is a band at the top edge that keeps the sleeve where it should sit, rather than letting it work its way down the arm. ActiLymph® gives EU Class 2 compression, 23-32mmHg, and Lohmann & Rauscher make it for the ongoing management of lymphoedema and arm swelling.

Hold and compression

• EU Class 2 compression, 23-32mmHg, rated firm
• Grip top band at the upper arm, to help stop the sleeve slipping down
• Knitted stiffer than everyday support hosiery, so it holds its shape on a swollen arm
• Latex-free
• Made by Lohmann & Rauscher, part of the ActiLymph® range

Choosing a length and size

Two lengths are made, Standard and Long, with sizes Small, Medium, Large and X-Large in Sand. Compression only works at the right size, so check the size guide before ordering. When putting it on, work the sleeve up the arm in stages rather than pulling on the grip top. Machine wash at or below 40°C.

It's important to get the right fit when it comes to compression garments. That's why Daylong Shop recommends that you contact a nurse, GP or pharmacist to ensure that compression hosiery is appropriate for you. If so, you will then need to be measured in order to obtain the correct size which will ensure that the garment works correctly and feels comfortable. Compression hosiery may not be suitable for everyone. If you have diabetes, circulation problems, reduced sensation, fragile skin, heart failure or a diagnosed vascular condition, speak to a healthcare professional before using compression.
