Upper Extremity - Stage 2 - Mild

Definition: Pitting present day & night, easily reduced with treatment within 1-2 weeks with compliance

Day Compression:

 Compression choice: 

Class 2

• (30-40 mmHg)  circular knit / seamless (standard RTW)
• Indicated due to the volume of limb swelling and reduced fibrosis in the skin

Class 2

• (23-32 mmHg) flat knit / seamed (custom MTM)
• Indicated due to the volume of limb swelling and reduced fibrosis in the skin

Containment choice:

Juzo Dynamic

• Circular Knit/ seamless product options: Dynamic CG (sleeve)
• Indicated for “heaviness” of limb
• Max Sizing 

Juzo Expert

• Flat knit / seamed product options: Expert CG (sleeve), Expert AC (gauntlet), Expert ACFS (glove w/finger stubs)
• Indicated for a low stretch & high containing garment to break down fibrosis, high BMI & ADL’s

Night Compression:

Optional: 

• Wearing night compression can optimize treatment outcomes. A night garment is unnecessary if no fibrosis remains and the swelling is fully resolved. The knit garment should maintain the limb's current size.

Juzo Night Garment

• Product options: Night CG (sleeve)
• Indicated for mild fibrosis

Juzo Reversa Compression Wrap & SoftCompress

• Product options: Reversa Compression Wrap CG (sleeve), Reversa Compression Wrap AC (gauntlet), Soft Compress CG (sleeve)

Juzo Bandaging

• Product options: SoftCompress Short-Stretch Bandage

Tips:

• The day garment should fit snugly and maintain a decongestive size; if it doesn't, choose a material that contains more.
• Apply compression to one joint below the visible swelling; for example, use a glove if the wrist is swelling.
• Use a gauntlet for preventive purposes (when swelling does not extend to the wrist).
• Flat knit: choose comfort patch, elbow dart & slant top with silicone border 
• Reduction options:
  • Reversa compression Wraps: short stretch product Reversa Compression Wrap CG (sleeve), Reversa Compression Wrap AC (gauntlet), Soft Compress CG (sleeve)
  • Worn with SoftCompres
  • Reversa is Indicated for difficulty in reaching or inability to manage knit garments
