A sleeve-wrap compression system can include a seamless, inner sleeve comprising a long-stretch elastomeric material and an interior terry surface; and an elongated outer wrap comprising a long-stretch elastomeric material. When applied to a patient's limb, the inner sleeve can exert a first compressive pressure that secures the inner sleeve in a therapeutic position on the limb. When applied by stretching over the inner sleeve, the outer wrap can exert a second compressive pressure and frictionally engage the inner sleeve, thereby securing the compression system as a single compressive entity in the therapeutic position on the limb. |
