Materials

White, Beige — 92% polyester, 8% spandex

Polyester/Ionic+™ Grey — 87.4% polyester, 4.6% Ionic+™, 8% spandex

NOTE: Compressogrip® shrinker fabric gives up to 20–25mmHg compression at 50% stretch. At 100% stretch the compression is almost doubled. Double layers will almost double compression at both 50% and 100% stretch. Application of more than two layers may exceed the limits of desired therapeutic pressure.

When determining sizing, allow for swelling.
