Step 1. Circumference measurements

Using a tape measure, take your CIRCUMFERENCE measurements, circling in the CIRCUMFERENCE table of the MEASURING CHART as you go.

Circumferences for Arm Sleeve (C-G):  

  • cC = Circumference Wrist 
  • cE = Circumference Elbow
  • cG = Circumference Upper Arm

Circumferences for Arm & Hand Sleeve (A-G):

  • cA = Circumference around base of fingers
  • cC = Circumference Wrist 
  • cE = Circumference Elbow
  • cG = Circumference Upper Arm

*See detailed measurement instructions for how to measure below.

cA: Circumference around base of fingers

Measure without tension. Take the circumference measurement with back of the hand facing upwards. Place the palm firmly on a hard flat surface with the fingers slightly splayed. Pass your measuring tape around the joints at the base of the fingers. Circle your size range in the cA row of the worksheet size chart. 

cC: Circumference Wrist

Measure without tension on the tape, over the styloid bone. For swelling, never measure in a skin fold or a fold around the joint. Rather, take the tape to the side of the skin fold for a wider circumference to ensure there is no constriction at the wrist, which can cause hand swelling. Circle your size range in the cC row of the worksheet size chart.

 cE: Circumference Elbow

Measure without tension around the elbow tip at the point of the elbow crease. If there is swelling here, measure around the swollen area just above the elbow. Circle your size range in the cE row of the worksheet size chart. 

 cG: Circumference Upper Arm, just below armpit

Measure without tension. Do not constrict by pulling the tape tight. Circle your size range in the cG row of the worksheet size chart. 

*DO NOT PULL TIGHTLY ON THE TAPE FOR THESE MEASUREMENTS.

Step 2:  Sleeve length measurement

lC-G: Length of sleeve

The ‘G’ point is usually just below the armpit (on the inside of the arm) and indicates the top of the sleeve. The arm should be straight or with a slight bend at the elbow for this measurement. Measure length from C (wrist) to G (top of sleeve) along the inside of the arm, staying close to the skin. Check the total length on the loosely hanging arm. Circle your size range in the ‘Length C-G’ row at the bottom of the worksheet size chart, Step 1. (Standard 42cm or Long 47cm.)

 IMPORTANT TIPS ON MEASURING FOR COMPRESSION SLEEVES:

Be aware that a sleeve which is too long is likely to roll or crease.

The best time to measure circumferences for compression sleeves is when your limbs are at their smallest or 'emptiest', usually first thing in the morning, before gravity has had a chance to work against you.

Remember that a good fit is pivotal to effective and comfortable compression, so double-check your measurements and ensure that you have followed the tips provided in this guide.
