What Does A Surgical Compression Garment Do?
A surgical compression garment helps you recover from surgery. • Surgical compression garments provide compression which pushes body fluids away from the skin and reduces swelling. It also helps flush potentially harmful fluids from your body which in turn reduces the risk of infection and bruising. • Surgical compression garments help hold skin firmly against the body which aids in body contouring. Medical compression garments are made from light weight breathable material and are designed to be worn comfortably for continual and extended periods of time. Compression garment must be properly fitted to provide the appropriate support and function in the right areas.
