Compression Garments

What are Compression Garments?

Mostly used in therapy and sports, a compression garment is a piece of clothing that has elastic properties and applies compression on the surface of the body when worn. Each one is made with elastomeric fibers and is designed with a unique compression gradient you can wear on your limbs, full, lower, or upper body. Compression garments are often categorized as athletic, post-surgical, and medical condition treatment & prevention. Some of the popular over-the-counter compression garments are compression ankle socks, compression knee-high socks, knee wraps, wrist support, compression stockings, abdominal support belt, and more. Meanwhile, compression garments for post-surgical or medical treatment use include graduated compression socks, lower back support braces, TED hose, among many others. We at Kearny Park Compounding Pharmacy offer high quality yet affordable compression garments based on the needs and preferences of our patients.

Benefits of a Compression Garment

• Increase in Blood Circulation - The garment applies pressure on your veins and arteries, helping them pump blood more efficiently. This is highly beneficial for people who are healing from injuries and suffering from chronic swelling.

• Pain Management - The anti-inflammatory benefits of a compression garment also include minimized pain during recovery. As the garment decreases swelling when worn, it also lessens the pain you are experiencing in the affected body part, which also helps speed up the healing process.

• Injury Prevention - Wearing sports compression garments have proven effective in helping prevent injuries among athletes. The gentle pressure of these garments helps reduce the impact applied on muscles. They also help reduce muscle fatigue during and after an intense workout session.

• Less Bruising - Although bruising often happens after undergoing plastic surgery, a compression garment assists in preventing any more blood cells from accumulating on the upper layers of the skin. This aids in speedier recovery and minimized bruising.

• Treatment of Medical Conditions – Strong elastic and highly graded compression garments can aid in the treatment and prevention of various medical conditions, such as leg ulcers, lymphoedema, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and more.
