Compression sleeves are a type of compression bandage prefabricated in the shape of a sleeve, to be easily worn on an injured or recovering limb. Typically made from a stretchy fabric like nylon, neoprene or spandex, compression sleeves are worn regularly by everyday people and athletes of all levels.
These handy sleeves are used to minimize chronic pain from cramps, shin splints, or tennis elbow and many medical conditions and injuries. By encouraging greater oxygen-rich blood flow to the injured area and increasing hydration, compression garments act as a support system to help prevent further injury, regulate temperature and expedite recovery time of both muscles and joints.
