Compression Garments: Your Recovery, Supported
Your Macom medical compression garment is included with your surgery. Worn day and night for 6 to 8 weeks, it supports your body while it heals.
A Small Garment That Does a Big Job
After surgery your body naturally swells as it heals. A compression garment applies firm, even pressure over the treated area, supporting your tissues as they settle into their new shape.
Wearing it exactly as your surgeon advises is one of the simplest things you can do for your recovery.
Worn day and night, taken off only to shower.
Helps control swelling
Even pressure helps limit the swelling that naturally follows surgery.
Supports healing tissue
Holds your tissues steady while they settle into their new shape.

Caring for Your Garment
Check the fit
Snug and firm, but it should never dig in, cause numbness or tingling, or leave marks that do not fade.
Keep it smooth
Make sure there are no folds or creases against your skin.
Wash gently
Hand wash and air dry. A second garment means one is always ready.
Want a spare? You can buy Macom garments directly from macom-medical.com. Worn garments cannot be returned for hygiene reasons, so check the size guide first.
