Night Compression:

Not indicated:
No swelling is present, and day treatment is maintained at a stable size, managing disease progression

Tips:

The daytime garments hold decongestion size, if not increase containment with a higher containing material.
Compress one joint level below swelling or as high as the patient can tolerate due to arthritic changes, flexibility and daily function.
If the limb is swollen upon assessment, decongest it with a Soft Compress and Reversa wrap or bandaging until it is reduced or plateaus in reduction.
