I feel I was deceived about the compression pressure for this gauntlet. My therapist thought it would work for me for overnight use because it was close to the 15mmHg to 20mmHg sleeve I already had and would serve as a reasonable substitute for the Jobst 15-20 mmHg gauntlet that had irritated the webbing between my thumb and first finger. I tried size one in the Juzo (too tight) and then size two (loose across the knuckles). My therapist and fitter got more involved. Come to find out, the ACTUAL compression of this gauntlet is more like 20-30 mmHG, way too high and contraindicated for safe, nighttime use. My therapist and fitter had to speak directly with Juzo to find this out. I feel it is inappropriate and deceptive to include this in your catalogue without at least some kind of disclaimer (in the printed catalogue it is listed in the same box as another model whose compression is accurately stated.) I wasted around $70 on this gauntlet. Sandy Curtis.
