Surgical Compression Garments Online

The surgical compression garments are widely available on the internet and in specialist shops plus you can also find the non-custom made ones on the high street. Even though there are many places that sell garments it is important to know which companies have the best reputation and sell the garments for the best price. This is because if you buy a compression garment that is not fitted properly then you could potentially be putting yourself at a higher risk of side effects.

Compression garments online

The fastest and cheapest way of getting compression garments is by purchasing them online. When buying any sort of item online you will be able to shop around and look for the best price. Many of the websites will be able to offer you a deal especially if you find the garment on another website for a cheaper price.

Before buying your compression garment online you should also ask your surgeon if they would recommend a particular website. This is because some surgeries are in partnership with compression garment retailers and you may be entitled to some discount.

Sizes of surgical compression garments online

Also when buying compression garments online you should ask to know the measurements of the garments that you are planning to buy. This is the easiest way of ensuring that you are buying the garment that is the correct size for you. As often sizes which are simply labelled small, medium and large can be misleading. If you are unsure about what size you should buy you should take the measurements to your surgeon and ask for their advice on the best size. This is so they can estimate your measurements after the surgery has taken place because you will have to take into account the amount of swelling that could potentially occur. 

Return policy of online compression garments

Another factor to consider when buying your compression garment online is the return policy of the retailer. Most of the online websites say that you can return the garment to them as long as it has not been worn and is of a standard to be resold.

Listed below are just some of things that may be included in the returns policy;

• There may be a re-stocking fee charged by the company
• If your cosmetic garment has been specially made for you with your measurements then a different returns policy may apply
• You must have kept your original packaging of the compression garment
• If you have damaged your garment at all you may instead get credit to spend on something else on the website rather than getting your money back
• You should always leave your underwear on whilst trying on any of your compression garments
