Allegra K Women's Fingerless Stripes Prints Fabric Arm Long Gloves Warmers

I LOVE “fingerless” gloves! With this said … think about “why” you or someone that you love wants or needs these. This may help: 1. Attending events or training - or even a restaurant: Anywhere air conditioning is way too cold!!! It can be really painful taking notes when the room is freezing cold. This is why I always take mine. 2. In rainy, damp weather: If you or your person is the type that has bone-chills or aches more in rainy weather ( oddly, for me at least, it doesn’t happen in high humidity, like Hawai’i. It only happens when it is raining, with worst being a cold rain). 3. Bike or scooter riding, or standing up on a bus: You need tight control on handlebars, or upper bus bar. When you need “medical grade” as your best solution: If you or your person has lymphedema in arms, or post surgery arm swelling, likely your medical insurance will pay for “arm compression sleeves”, “gauntlets” ( like this style sold by Target), “ or “gloves” ( which have exposed fingertips). These are available in three different compression levels. Most common is 20-30, which is usually Stage 2 post surgery, after some swelling went down. Juzo is a popular brand. Medical insurance or Medicaid ( federal) / MediCal ( California) in US often cover compression arm sleeves, compression gauntlets and compression gloved under the Lymphedema Act, or for any type of breast surgery, the Breast Act. This item category is Post- Surgery Durable Medical Equipment ( DME) Supply, or if not post-surgery related, it is just a DME supply. The type of fabric is different because the medical- design fabric “graduates” the compression level depending on location - hand, forearm or upper arm. These are made seamless. These are made to order based on your measurements. Huge difference in price. Out of pocket medical grade runs about $150-200 per arm / hand—- not a pair or set. A “set” of two arms/ hands can run $300 as of fall 2024. Most insurance covers three for each arm/ hand every six months. If you need these, Google “Mayo Clinic Hospital Store”, as one of the easiest places to order medical DME supplies; it will bill your insurance. Get a prescription from doctor. Medical grade compression arm sleeves or hand gauntlet or gloves may help save someone’s life; these help keep lymph fluid moving out of the body. See your doctor for diagnosis and more education. For me, I consider any sleeveless gloves - from any store, or medical grade, an investment. My favorite ones from a store like Target are bulky knit fingerless gloves. But in summer, these lighter weight ones are more practical. These are like “wearing a hug.”
