Edema is the swelling of the hands and the feet. It occurs most often due to abnormal fluid retention under the skin, and in the cavities. Treatment can be relatively quick. Compression garments, applying mild pressure or massage can usually do the trick. There are four different grades of edema, based on the number of body parts affected. Grade zero means the patient is completely rid of edema symptoms. Grade one means edema in the feet. Grade two and three involves swollen hands and arms. In these cases edema gloves can give you immediate relief. In this article I will review and recommend the best compression gloves for edema. We will look at both full finger compression gloves for edema and open finger edema gloves.
Copper Compression Hand Pain Relief Edema Gloves
- Premium compression gloves for edema
- Mild compression improves blood flow and circulation.
- Retains body heat and provides uniform support to your hands.
- Proven, quick reduction in pain and edema-related swelling.
- Guaranteed highest copper content and highest quality copper.
- Copper fights fungus infection and bacteria.

- Premium quality gloves: made of a durable mix of cotton and copper infused spandex.
I am a big fan of copper infused compression products. Whether it is about copper compression socks, or copper compression gloves, the copper content makes the items that much more hygienic. At the moment it is not clear whether the extra copper content helps with treating edema, or this is just an urban myth. Up until today only the positive hygiene effects of copper gloves have been shown. However many people swear by them and think the copper content enhances the compression and healing ability of the gloves.

It is not a surprise that edema gloves are mentioned!
There are two different types of gloves for edema treatment. Full finger edema compression gloves and open finger edema gloves. I prefer open finger models, because you keep the dexterity of your hands. Full finger models are recommended as undergloves for cold weather. Or you can wear them as single gloves if you have severe edema, and your fingertips are swollen. However make sure that you buy a touch-screen friendly model. In our modern, technologically advanced world only touchscreen-friendly edema gloves will cut it.
There are not many typical gloves designed for treating edema on the market. Regular compression gloves or arthritis gloves can help too. There is a wider variety of arthritis gloves on Amazon, they are more fashionable. Most compression gloves for edema are rather plain and unattractive. This is one of the reasons I prefer arthirits gloves for treating edema rather than simple edema gloves.
Let's look at further compression gloves for edema:
