Sigvaris 910 Spec Advance Armsleeve, 15-20 mmHg, Grip Top

Comfort built into the Advance line

Sigvaris describes this armsleeve as ultimate softness, aimed at all-day comfort and effectiveness. Sigvaris's related Advance armsleeve (with gauntlet) lists a Sensinnov top-band for staying in place, moisture-wicking for dry skin, and a breathable, year-round knit; this grip-top version shares the same Advance line name and 15-20 mmHg class.

A grip top is built in to help the sleeve stay in place through normal daily movement.

Sigvaris's own description highlights softness aimed at comfort and effectiveness over a full day.

This item comes in left and right versions across several lengths, since one arm is often affected more than the other.

Arm compression garments are sized from three circumferences and a length, the same method lymphedema fitters use: around the wrist, around the mid-forearm or elbow, and around the upper arm at the armpit (a book held up into the armpit marks the point), plus the length from wrist to armpit along the inside of the arm. Sizes and letter/number codes vary by brand, so check this product's own size chart rather than assuming your size in one line carries over to another.

Breastcancer.org's own patient guidance is blunt about this: get properly fitted by a lymphedema-trained professional before you wear a sleeve. A sleeve that is too tight in one spot can actually push fluid backward instead of moving it out, and compression sleeves fit differently between manufacturers even inside the same mmHg class. This page describes what the manufacturer states about the product; it is not a fitting service or medical advice.

Lymphedema-focused sources recommend washing after each wear with a mild detergent, laying the garment flat to dry away from direct heat, and skipping moisturizer right before putting it on since lotion ingredients can break down the elastic fibres. Plan to replace the sleeve roughly every three to six months, since the compression fades as the fabric stretches with wear - sooner if it feels looser than when new.

Ships from a Canadian warehouse. Free shipping on orders over $150; some remote areas, PO boxes and surcharge regions may cost extra.

Covered directly by Sigvaris under their warranty for material and manufacturing defects.

If your care team has recommended 15-20 mmHg for the arm, this is that class from Sigvaris's Advance line.

Sigvaris markets this specific version on softness plus a grip top for staying in place.

Ordering by side means you only buy the arm that actually needs compression.

What does 15-20 mmHg mean for an armsleeve?

Sigvaris and JOBST both frame this as a lighter class, typically chosen with a doctor or lymphedema therapist rather than self-selected for a diagnosed condition.

Why is this sold by left/right and length?

Arm swelling is often one-sided, and arm length varies person to person, so Sigvaris sizes this line by side and length rather than one generic size.

How is this sized?

Arm compression garments are sized from three circumferences and a length, the same method lymphedema fitters use: around the wrist, around the mid-forearm or elbow, and around the upper arm at the armpit (a book held up into the armpit marks the point), plus the length from wrist to armpit along the inside of the arm. Sizes and letter/number codes vary by brand, so check this product's own size chart rather than assuming your size in one line carries over to another.

How do I wash it and when should I replace it?

Lymphedema-focused sources recommend washing after each wear with a mild detergent, laying the garment flat to dry away from direct heat, and skipping moisturizer right before putting it on since lotion ingredients can break down the elastic fibres. Plan to replace the sleeve roughly every three to six months, since the compression fades as the fabric stretches with wear - sooner if it feels looser than when new.
