Solidea® Micromassage Class 2 Gauntlet

The Solidea® Micromassage Class 2 Gauntlet is an elastic-compression gauntlet for the management of lymphoedema and oedema of the hand and forearm. Compression is RAL Class 2, a moderate level. It is ambidextrous, so the same gauntlet fits the left hand or the right.

• Four colours: Bianco, Camel, Natur and Nero
• Latex free
• Can be worn on its own, or combined with an elastic-compression armband

The Micromassage knit

Micromassage is Solidea®'s patented three-dimensional wave fabric. The raised waves sit against the skin and are designed to give a light massaging action as the hand and wrist move, on top of the compression itself. The knit also allows natural transpiration, so the skin can breathe and stays dry under the gauntlet. Take off rings and watches before you put it on, and keep your nails smooth, because a fine compression knit snags easily.

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.
