What Should Be Considered When Selecting a Postoperative Compression Garment?

Postoperative garment selection should consider anatomy, incision sites, patient measurements and coverage as well as the procedure.

Product Selection

Garment selection should consider more than the type of surgery: assess the treated anatomy, intended compression areas, incision sites, fastening positions, measurements and recovery plan together.

The garment should fit evenly, support the intended area and avoid unnecessary local pressure. For combined procedures in particular, consider coverage and construction rather than assuming one standard model will suit every patient.
