This product provides medical-grade Class 1 compression (20-30 mmHg). Medical-grade compression garments (20-30 mmHg and above) are commonly covered under Canadian extended health benefit plans (e.g. Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Blue Cross, Green Shield Canada) when accompanied by a valid prescription from your physician or nurse practitioner. It may also qualify as an eligible medical expense under the CRA's Medical Expense Tax Credit. We're happy to prepare an itemized estimate for your insurer — use Get an Insurance Estimate for this item, or add several to your cart and request one for everything at once. No charge, and it's not an order. Coverage details, annual limits, and prescription requirements vary by plan, so please confirm your specific benefits with your provider and keep your prescription and itemized receipt for your claim.

Measure the arm first thing in the morning, before swelling builds, with the tape snug but not tight.

This sleeve runs from the wrist (C) to the armpit (G), labelled CG in the style drawings.

Each Size names two things, read off the chart in this order:

Size — from the wrist and forearm rows
Width — Regular or Extra-wide, from that size's elbow and armpit rows

mediven Harmony styles: Plain, With topband, With shouldercap and belt

Wash daily after wearing -- washing restores the fabric's elasticity
Hand wash, or machine wash on a gentle cycle between 30–40°C (86–104°F)
Use a mild detergent made for compression hosiery; never use fabric softener
Do not bleach or dry clean
Do not wring -- gently press out excess water in a towel instead
Turn stockings with a lace or crystal-motif band inside out and place in a laundry net before washing
Dry flat or tumble dry on a low/gentle setting; never dry in direct sun or on a radiator or heater

Put the armsleeve on first thing in the morning. If you shower and use skin cream, wait until your skin is completely dry — a damp arm makes the sleeve far harder to get on.

File your fingernails smooth first, and leave rings and a watch off until the sleeve is on.
Have fabric or rubber gloves ready; they grip the knit and make it much easier to distribute over the arm.
Gather the sleeve, slide your hand through the opening and work it up the forearm.
Spread the fabric evenly over the elbow and upper arm, smoothing out wrinkles as you go rather than pulling from the top.
Check the top band lies flat against the skin and is not rolled, then put your jewellery back on.
Ask us about the medi Arm Butler if reaching or gripping is difficult; it holds the sleeve open so you can push your arm straight in.

Unless your prescriber says otherwise, wear the sleeve from morning to night.
