Medical-Grade Compression Wear

Choosing Compression Wear
That Makes a Difference

Compression wear isn’t one-size-fits-all. The right level of support, a proper fit, and the right style can make a noticeable difference in how your body feels and functions throughout the day. Whether you’re managing swelling, living with a chronic condition, recovering from surgery, or simply spending long hours on your feet, the right compression garment can help reduce discomfort and improve circulation in a way that works for you.

At Care-Med Ltd, our goal is to take the stress out of the process. We listen, ask the right questions, and guide you through the options, so you’re not left guessing.

Whether you’ve worn compression garments before or are exploring them for the first time, we’re here to help you find a solution that feels comfortable, fits well, and suits your daily life.

We offer in-person fittings at our Toronto clinic, and virtual consultations for clients across Ontario.

Support for More Than Just Recovery

Compression wear isn’t just for recovery or athletic performance, it can be helpful in many everyday situations. From managing ongoing health concerns to long workdays on your feet or extended travel, the right level of support can ease discomfort, improve circulation, and help you feel better throughout the day.

Supports Circulation

Graduated pressure helps blood flow upward from the feet, reducing the risk of pooling and easing feelings of heaviness or fatigue.

Aids in Recovery

Wearing compression garments after surgery or injury can help reduce swelling and support healing during the recovery process.

Manages Lymphedema

Targeted compression helps control fluid buildup and provides relief for those managing lymphedema or related conditions.

Eases Travel Discomfort

Ideal for long flights or car rides, compression wear can help reduce the risk of swelling and blood clots during extended sitting.

Reduces Strain from Daily Activity

Whether you’re on your feet or at a desk all day, compression helps minimize fatigue and discomfort in your legs and lower body.

Offers Gentle Support During Pregnancy

Compression garments can ease swelling and leg discomfort during pregnancy by improving circulation and reducing pressure on the veins.

Still Have Questions?

Choosing the right compression garment can feel overwhelming at first, but it doesn’t have to be. Below are some of the most common questions people ask when exploring compression wear, for daily support, recovery, or medical.

How do I clean and care for compression garments?2025-06-18T13:13:07-04:00

How do I clean and care for compression garments?

Wash after each use with mild detergent and lukewarm water
Avoid bleach or fabric softeners, which can break down elasticity
Air dry instead of using a dryer to preserve compression strength

Can compression wear prevent varicose veins?2025-06-18T13:12:09-04:00

Can compression wear prevent varicose veins?

While they can’t prevent varicose veins entirely, compression wear can help reduce discomfort, slow progression, and manage symptoms by improving circulation and reducing vein pressure.

Are compression garments covered by insurance?2025-06-18T13:12:36-04:00

Are compression garments covered by insurance?

Sometimes. Many extended health plans cover medical-grade compression garments when prescribed for conditions like DVT, lymphedema, or venous insufficiency. Coverage varies, so it’s best to contact your provider. We can help with documentation if needed.

Can I wear compression while sleeping?2025-06-18T13:14:06-04:00

Can I wear compression while sleeping?

In most cases, compression garments are not needed overnight unless specifically prescribed. The body naturally adjusts when lying down, and compression is usually most beneficial during the day.

Do I need a prescription?2025-06-18T13:13:42-04:00

Do I need a prescription?

A prescription is not required for lower compression levels (under 20 mmHg). For higher levels, or if you’re claiming through insurance, you may need one from a healthcare provider.

What compression level should I start with?2025-06-17T23:35:01-04:00

What compression level should I start with?

If you’re new to compression wear, many people start with a lighter level, like 15–20 mmHg (Guide to Compression Levels). This is often enough to help with mild swelling, tired legs, or travel.

Higher levels may be recommended for medical conditions or recovery, and in those cases, it’s best to get guidance from a healthcare provider. We’re also happy to help you choose the right level based on your lifestyle and needs.

How does compression wear work?2025-06-18T13:08:25-04:00

How does compression wear work?

Compression garments apply graduated pressure, which means they’re tighter at the extremities (like the ankle or wrist) and gradually decrease up the limb. This helps encourage healthy blood flow back toward the heart and reduces fluid buildup in the affected area.

How long should I wear compression garments each day?2025-06-18T13:08:51-04:00

How long should I wear compression garments each day?

Most people wear compression garments during the day and remove them before sleeping. For everyday use, they can be worn for hours at a time, especially if you’re standing, sitting, or walking for long periods. If you’re recovering from surgery or managing a condition, follow your doctor’s guidance.

Is it safe to wear compression garments all day?2025-06-18T13:09:21-04:00

Is it safe to wear compression garments all day?

Yes, as long as they’re properly fitted and the compression level is appropriate. Garments that are too tight or not suited to your needs can cause discomfort or circulation issues. A proper fitting helps ensure both safety and comfort.

How can I put on compression garments more easily?2025-06-18T13:11:40-04:00

How can I put on compression garments more easily?

Putting on compression wear can take a bit of practice, especially if the garment fits snugly (as it should). Here are a few tips to make it easier:

Start with dry skin to reduce slipping and improve grip
Turn the garment inside out up to the area that covers the heel, elbow, or relevant joint
Slide the limb in carefully, then roll or pull the garment up slowly
Smooth out any wrinkles to ensure even compression and avoid pressure points
Use tools like a stocking donner, rubber gloves, or grip pads if mobility is limited or the fabric is hard to handle

If you struggle with application, we’re happy to show you techniques during a fitting, either in person or virtually.
