IMAK Compression Arthritis Gloves (Grey, S)

Product Information

Many garments have copper in them and claim to better help arthritis. There is no evidence that the copper helps, but the glove is a good one and is reasonably priced so we do recommend its use,” Hearne adds. We researched dozens of arthritis gloves and evaluated them for material, fit, comfort, and price. A board-certified rheumatologist from our Medical Expert Board also reviewed the contents of this article for medical accuracy and integrity surrounding arthritis of the hand, and how to evaluate arthritis gloves.

The material that is used paired with the fingerless design is aimed at people that want the reduction of their symptoms without the reduction of their dexterity.

Compression is another feature that works well to temporarily relieve symptoms associated with arthritis in the hands and fingers. “Most of the patients that I see have the wear and tear of osteoarthritis, and their joints are swollen and painful,” Hearne says. “The gloves can really help by giving you some compression to the hands and the joints, which will inhibit pain.” When selecting gloves for arthritis relief, we spoke with rheumatologists and occupational therapists. We then spent hours combing the web for the best and most effective products. After taking all of our options into consideration, we determined which to feature based on key criteria recommended by the experts: comfort, coverage, material, and added features. FLEXIWEAR Dual Layer System - Two types of interchangeable, adaptable, multi-purpose gloves for optimum mobility, flexibility, warmth and comfort The material is a soft cotton and lycra mix which allows the skin to breathe and prevents sweating or irritation when worn for long periods. The material also allows for a generous stretch, making it easy enough to get the gloves on and off. With the added anti-slip dots the IMAK Active Arthritis Gloves are suitable to wear whilst writing, typing, texting, doing crafts, sports, gardening or housework, without the risk of objects slipping in your hand. IMAK Arthritis Gloves are so user friendly that they were awarded an Ease-of-Use Commendation by the Arthritis Foundation. IMAK products are now made in Iowa, by Brownmed: one of the USA’s leading manufacturers of orthopedic products and devices.

IMAK Arthritis Gloves were designed by an orthopedic surgeon and have earned the Arthritis Foundation’s Ease of Use Commendation. The unique fabric provides mild compression for warmth and controlled joint swelling. IMAK Arthritis Gloves help to relieve arthritis pain, hand fatigue, cold hands, and may also be helpful for poor circulation and neuropathy of the hands. IMAK Arthritis Gloves help those who suffer from the pain of arthritis to enjoy everyday activities again. Insulating gloves provide added warmth and protection for stiff, aching joints: great for outdoor activites and tasks

Slimline and durable offering warmth, comfort, mild compression and grip for daily lifestyle activities Since hand sizes, pain levels and treatment goals vary, arthritis gloves aren’t a one-size-fits-all product. Look for gloves that are snug enough to provide the desired level of compression, but not so tight that they inhibit blood flow. The IMAK Arthritis Gloves Pair are constructed of soft, breathable cotton and are comfortable enough for arthritis sufferers to wear all day and all night. These open fingertip gloves allow freedom for feeling, touching, and gripping. Compression gloves try to increase the flow of the fluids that are known to cause inflammation. The idea is to get your hand and wrist in an environment that will expedite healing and alleviate the symptoms of select illnesses. Arthritis is an illness that can be found in both young and old alike. It has been known to cause problems for many people and especially those that make a living with the use of their hands. The gloves keep your hands warm and basically cushion your inflamed joints.IMAK gloves for arthritis offer gentle compression that is an effective, non-invasive arthritis relief A 2018 study published in the journal Pain Medicine tested the Intellinetix gloves with women who live with osteoarthritis. Just over half of the participants (53.5%) said that the gloves helped reduce their hand pain, and 71.4% indicated that they would use them again. It is important to remember that the fit of the glove can alter day to day depending on the swelling of the hands and joints. “The glove that fit yesterday might not fit today,” said Betty Hearne, OTHR, an occupational therapist in Massachusetts. “Most people can feel if the gloves are too tight. Your hand might go cold and feel tingly. It might ache like a shoe that is too small.” But, ultimately, it is up to the individual on what coverage makes more sense for their personal life and symptoms. Your level of mobility during the day can impact the coverage decision. “For daytime use, I want the fingertips to be free but the fingers covered,” Hearne says. “For nighttime use, the whole hand should be covered.” If you’re buying arthritis gloves online, know that different manufacturers may have different size options and often require you to measure your hand to find the right size for you. For the best results, have arthritis gloves properly fitted to your hands, advises Maeve Gamble, M.D., a rheumatologist at Arva Clinic in Ontario, Canada.

Not all gloves are made to be worn at all times. Some are specifically for day wear while others are only for use during certain activities. If you’re experiencing chronic pain during the day or pain that occurs at night, look for gloves that are designed for more long-term wear. Special Features During his 30 years’ experience as a hand surgeon, Dr. Ian McMorran recognized the importance of night splinting as a non-surgical treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome. As a long-term sufferer from fibromyalgia and arthritis, Aurelia Coby has a strong commitment to natural, non-invasive treatments. Together, the company’s founding partners have developed and refined a number of innovative treatments for arthritis and other forms of wrist pain. Not only is it possible to wear arthritis gloves to bed, according to Alejandro Badia, MD, a board-certified hand and upper extremity orthopedic surgeon with Badia Hand to Shoulder Center in Florida, but they are also intended to be worn at night for two reasons. First, effective compression of joint swelling and shifts in lubricating joint fluid don’t happen in a matter of a few hours. “Most people sleep at least six hours, and that continuous pressure is what’s most effective,” Dr. Badia tells Verywell Health. “No better time to do that consistently than every night during sleep.” IMAK® Arthritis Gloves are designed to help relieve aches, pains, and stiffness associated with arthritis of the hands. In addition to being designed by an orthopedic surgeon, IMAK Arthritis Gloves have also earned the Arthritis Foundation’s Ease of Use Commendation for design. This unique design of the IMAK Arthritis Gloves provides mild compression for warmth while helping to increase circulation, which ultimately reduces pain and promotes healing. The Arthritis Gloves are made of soft, breathable cotton LYCRA® material, meaning they are comfortable enough to wear all day and night. The open fingertips allow you complete freedom to feel, touch and grip, so you can perform daily tasks without issue. Not made with natural rubber latex. The second reason, he explains, is that most swelling happens at night because of fluid retention due to cortisol secretion, as well as the fact that most joints are at the same level as the heart—positioned horizontally as we sleep. (Sleeping in an adjustable bed will also change the position of your hand so it will not be at the same level horizontally as your heart.) “The gloves will minimize pooling of fluid in already painful joints,” Dr. Badia adds.Vibration is a newer addition to possible therapeutic methods that could relieve symptoms caused by arthritis. While science has not quite caught up with the technology, it could be something new to try if other therapy methods are not proving beneficial. All it takes is slipping on the gloves and pushing a button to allow the vibrations to begin. These vibrations can work like heat therapy to help warm up the joints, thus reducing any stiffness and pain that you might be experiencing. If you have rheumatoid arthritis, you will most likely feel it first in the small joints of your hands. Often leading to stiffness and swelling, this can make day-to-day activities a challenge. IMAK Arthritis Gloves are designed to provide soothing relief and healing warmth to those suffering from arthritis of the hands. This innovative product has been designed by a leading orthopaedic surgeon to help to relieve the aches, pains and stiffness associated with arthritis. Some gloves come with additional features that can give them an edge over others. For instance, added texture on the outside of the glove, such as Griptex, gives you better grip when using the gloves during daily activities. Some gloves feature a non-slip inside as well to ensure continuous compression.
