Compression glove

Compression gloves are devices in the form of short or long gloves intended to tightly fit over the hand(s) to apply compression or pressure, typically made of cotton or synthetic elastic material such as lycra and spandex. They are used to control oedema, swelling and scarring due to arthritis or injuries, manage lymphoedema, and address mild to moderate hand swelling from acute and chronic oedema and lymphatic disorders.
