What Matters When Choosing a Postoperative Compression Garment for Men?

When choosing a postoperative garment for a male patient, consider the treated area and a design suited to their body shape.

The Garment Should Suit the Body Shape

Men and women may have different anatomical requirements for postoperative compression. Selection should consider coverage as well as measurements.

Choose a style appropriate to the procedure so treated areas such as the abdomen, waist, chest or thighs are supported appropriately.

The garment should cover the intended areas smoothly without excessive local pressure or persistent slipping during movement.
