I was in USA recently for a Klose conference (next update) and tagged on a visit to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York. Their therapists were so generous in sharing information such as this. Apparently, LympheDivas (USA) armsleeves are compression garments but with such vivid designs.
