Do I have to wear a gauntlet/glove with my compression sleeve?

When wearing a graduated medical compression sleeve, it is best for lymphedema patients to protect their hands with a compression gauntlet or glove. If a sleeve is worn without a gauntlet or glove, the pressure from the sleeve can push lymphatic fluid into the hand instead of up toward the body. When you wear a sleeve and a glove or gauntlet together, you can protect yourself against the risk of this happening.
