Medical compression
Medical compression, fitted with care
Legwear, sleeves, gloves, wraps, and post-surgical garments for men and women—carefully measured during a private fitting.
Why fit matters
Why careful measurements matter
Medical compression garments are designed to provide graduated pressure, with a firmer feel lower on the limb that gradually eases farther up. Because the fit depends on body measurements—not clothing or shoe size—careful measuring is an important part of the fitting process.
Compression strength is measured in millimeters of mercury, written as mmHg. Your healthcare provider should determine whether compression is appropriate for you and which level you need.
Measurements can change over time, and sizing may differ between manufacturers. During your appointment, we take the appropriate measurements and explain the available garment types within the compression level recommended by your healthcare provider.
Marzel's provides measurement and fitting support based on your provider's guidance.
Who we help
Reasons people visit us for compression
People seek compression fittings for many different reasons. When a healthcare provider has recommended a compression level or garment type, Marzel's can help with careful measurements and fitting support.
Men's compression
Compression fittings for men
Marzel's provides medical compression fittings for men at both locations. Each appointment takes place one-to-one in a private fitting room and follows the same careful measuring process provided to every client.
Compression options may include socks, legwear, arm and hand garments, wraps, and post-surgical garments. Depending on the garment type and compression level recommended by your healthcare provider, options may vary in length, fabric weight, color, closure, and overall feel.
Our fitters take the time to understand your measurements, daily routine, and any guidance you have received from your provider so they can explain the options available to you.
Types and options
Compression garment types
The appropriate garment type depends on the area being fitted, your measurements, your daily routine, and any instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
Compression legwear
Compression legwear may include knee-high, thigh-high, and waist-high styles. Options can differ in length, fabric, toe design, waistband, and closure.
Arm and hand garments
Sleeves, gauntlets, and gloves provide compression for the arm or hand. Visitors managing lymphedema can find more detailed information on our Lymphedema Compression page.

Healthcare providers may recommend specialized compression garments following surgery or as part of burn and scar care. Marzel's provides measurements and fitting support based on the garment type and instructions supplied by your care team.
Wraps and adjustable options
Adjustable wraps use straps or closures instead of being pulled on like traditional compression garments. They may be considered when ease of application, hand strength, or mobility is an important part of the fitting.
Your appointment
What to expect during your fitting
Your appointment takes place one-to-one in a private fitting room. You will have time to ask questions, understand your measurements, and learn what an appropriate fit should feel like.
Before your visit
Bring any compression garment you currently use and any instructions or documentation provided by your healthcare provider. For some legwear fittings, an earlier appointment may be helpful; our team can let you know when you call.
Careful measurements
Your fitter takes measurements at the appropriate points for the garment you need. These measurements help identify the size, length, and style that may provide the best fit.
Understanding your options
Within the compression level recommended by your provider, your fitter explains differences in length, fabric, closure, toe style, and other practical features relevant to your needs.
Fit and use guidance
Your fitter checks how the garment sits and explains how it should feel. When appropriate, they can also demonstrate techniques for putting it on, removing it, and caring for it.
Insurance and documentation
Questions about insurance or paperwork?
Coverage and documentation requirements vary by insurance plan and service. If you plan to use insurance, bring any order, prescription, referral, or other paperwork provided by your healthcare provider.
If you are unsure what may be needed, contact Marzel's before your appointment. Our team can explain commonly requested documentation. Insurance coverage and benefits are determined by your individual plan and cannot be guaranteed by Marzel's.

Do I need to know my compression level before my appointment?

Can you help if my current compression garment no longer fits?
Yes. Your fitter can take new measurements and review how your current garment fits. Bringing it with you provides a helpful reference during the appointment.
Do you provide compression fittings for varicose veins?
Yes. If your healthcare provider has recommended compression for varicose veins or another venous condition, Marzel's can measure and fit you based on the recommended garment type and compression level.
