NIGHT GARMENTS

Night Garments

Compression night garments are specialized clothing designed to provide therapeutic compression while a person sleeps. These garments are particularly useful for managing conditions like lymphedema and venous insufficiency, where controlling swelling is crucial. Made from elastic, breathable fabrics, they offer graduated compression, which means the pressure is highest at the distal end (farthest from the heart) and gradually decreases toward the heart. This design helps reduce swelling and enhances both lymphatic and venous circulation.

Compression night garments come in various styles, such as sleeves for the arms, stockings or pants for the legs, and sometimes full-body suits for more comprehensive coverage. They are crafted to fit snugly but comfortably, ensuring effective compression without causing discomfort. By wearing these garments overnight, users can benefit from continuous pressure during periods of inactivity, which can help manage chronic conditions and prevent the worsening of symptoms.

These garments are typically worn while sleeping to provide ongoing compression, which aids in fluid drainage and reduces fluid accumulation. They are made to be soft and non-irritating, promoting comfort during rest. Proper care includes following manufacturer instructions for washing and replacing the garments as their elasticity diminishes over time.
