Truform Lymphedema Compression Arm Sleeve, 20-30 mmHg Post Mastectomy Support, Brown, Small

Very helpful for my arm! I had a mastectomy a few years ago with some lymph nodes removed.

I bought this sleeve for my grandma, and this is the little review she wrote up on it:Eight years ago after going on medicare, I was informed that the insurance company (that previously paid 100% of my compression sleeves after a mastectomy that left me with permanent lymphodema) would not pay for my sleeves. Medicare became primary payor and would not cover the sleeve so the insurance company which previously covered sleeves denied further coverage as they will not pay anything that Medicare will not cover.I was quoted $120 for the sleeve which I wore pretty much all the time. I could not justify paying that amount of money on a fixed income and have wore out the sleeves I previously had. I did not realize how much this affected my arm which by now has become very big. The arm is very sensitive to the sun and I have had a couple of infections which required antibiotics to heal.My granddaughter, who is in a Physician Assistant’s Program in Washington, visited a couple of weeks ago saw this, measured me and ordered a sleeve from this company. She placed the order and the sleeve arrived within 48 hours.It fit right out of the box and I wore it all day. I will be ordering another.The best thing about this sleeve seems to be the weave which allows air circulation. Previous sleeves seemed to be furnaces from the minute I put them on to the point I had to pull them off as I could not stand the heat. I live in the desert and temps have been 100 to 108 where we live.Thank you,Kathy – Apple Valley, CA

Did the measurements and ordered accordingly but found the sleeve too long and tight at the wrist. Quality is ok I’ve certainly had better material and fit.

I ordered according to the size chart and it was way too tight, especially around the wrist. When my husband and I finally together got it on, my hand immediately began to swell. I reached out to the manufacturer who responded that I was the first one this had happened to like I did something wrong. I guess WAS wrong to think they would stand behind their product. Anyway, my return window has closed and I cannot return it. Regardless, I will not be using something that does lots of harm and not an ounce of good!

Love the color. But dislike that the sleeve rolls down my arm after only a short time wearing it.

Following a lumpectomy and nodectomy, I required a compression sleeve in order to fly. I had one that was bulky and uncomfortable. However, this one is lightweight, attractive and it was easy to forget that I had it on. There was absolutely no swelling and no overcompression resulting in hand swelling. Being able to select a compression level but also a color made this a wonderful item to have. It dries quickly and is ready for the next flight. So I'm back in the air.

Because there is no silicone band at the top, this sleeve does not stay in place. And as the sleeve slides down, the compression ration changes. Because of that, on several occasions I have had to take it off on account of swelling in my hand. Do not waste your money on that sleeve.

Love it, I have lymphadema and it really helps with the pain associated with it
