Arm girdles and compression gloves are used in cases of lymphedema (following mastectomy). They are knitted in such a way as to offer the best compromise between contention and comfort.
At Bandagisterie Orthopédie Brasseur, our technicians are INAMI-approved to supply arm girdles and compression gloves. They systematically measure the limb to be compressed, so as to be able to provide the best compression solution.

At Brasseur Bandagisterie we are committed to:
1. Prescription compliance
the compression class and type of knit for the compression arm girdle and/or glove are vital information determined by the prescription.
2. Precise and complete measurement
the entire upper limb according to the model, to determine the right size for each patient. If there are no suitable arm girdles and/or compression gloves, we opt for a made-to-measure solution.
3. Choosing a highly elastic or low-elastic knitted fabric
For the same amount of restraint, a low-elasticity arm girdle and/or compression glove will be more effective than a high-elasticity equivalent.
In fact, an arm girdle and/or compression gloves with low elasticity will be more effective in countering limb volume gain.
4.ensure that the patient is eligible for social security benefits

Donning and doffing technique: a correct donning and doffing technique
is essential. Certain accessories can also facilitate these operations: the use of special gloves provides “life insurance” for arm girdles and/or compression gloves, and facilitates donning and doffing.
