How to measure for your arm sleeve
Grab a measuring tape, pen and paper and you’re all set!
Fold the measuring tape around your arm to the point of gentle tension.
Measure tight but not to the point where the tape leaves marks on your skin.
Write down the measures of the 4 points of importance:
- Wrist
- Forearm
- Bicep and
- Length
Write the measures down in centimeters.
Take these 4 measurements
Your wrist: Measure your wrist over the bone that points out
Your forearm: Measure your forearm where it has the largest circumference
Your bicep: Measure the fullest part of your bicep halfway between your elbow and armpit
Your length: Measure your arm length from right before the bone sticking out on the side of your wrist to shortly before your armpit.

2 types of compression
The last thing you need to know and decide is which compression class to get your arm sleeve in.
The compression is the pressure that helps you send back the lymphedema fluid to the main part of your body.
The LympheDIVAs arm sleeves come in 2 different compression classes:
Class 1 (20-30 mmHg) – for you who has a mild lymphedema or you who wants to prevent having one
Class 2 (30-40 mmHg) – for you who has lymphedema and need more compression to control it
Measure every time you change your arm sleeve
We recommend that you take your measurements every time you change your arm sleeve.
Your lymphedema changes, and so does the size of your compression sleeve.
