Sigvaris® Compreflex Standard Knee Compression Wrap: Targeted Support for Knee Swelling

The Sigvaris Compreflex® Standard Knee Compression Wrap is an adjustable, inelastic compression garment designed specifically to manage swelling around the knee. It is commonly used for venous and lymphatic conditions where traditional stockings or bandages do not provide enough support or are difficult to apply.

Who Is the Compreflex Standard Knee For?

This knee wrap may be recommended if you have:

• Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI)
• Ongoing knee or lower-leg swelling (chronic edema)
• Mild to moderate lymphedema (during both active treatment and maintenance)
• Post-surgical knee swelling
• Mild fibrosis
• Venous stasis ulcers affecting the knee area

It is especially helpful for people whose swelling changes throughout the day and requires adjustable compression.

Adjustable Compression You Can Control

The Compreflex Standard Knee provides adjustable compression from 20–50 mmHg, allowing compression to be tailored to your individual needs.

Compression levels include:

• 20–30 mmHg (mild–moderate)
• 30–40 mmHg (moderate–firm)
• 40–50 mmHg (firm)

Compression is set using the Accutab® system, which helps ensure each strap is applied evenly and safely—making it easier for patients and caregivers to manage compression at home.

Designed for Comfort and Movement

The wrap is made from durable, short-stretch (inelastic) material, which provides strong support while still allowing the knee to bend and move.

Material blend includes:

• Polyamide
• Polyurethane foam
• Elastane

This design delivers:

• High working pressure during activity to help move fluid out of the limb
• Low resting pressure for comfort and safety during rest and overnight wear

Key Features That Make a Difference

Butterfly Strap for Targeted Knee Compression

A unique four-way “butterfly” compression strap provides focused pressure around:

• The kneecap (patella)
• The back of the knee (popliteal area)

These areas are often difficult to compress effectively with standard garments.

Easy Application

• A built-in stretch panel holds the wrap in place while you fasten the straps
• Makes application easier and improves independence

Secure, Comfortable Fit

• Rounded straps lie flat and reduce gaps
• Strong Velcro® closures keep compression consistent throughout the day

What’s Included

Each Compreflex Standard Knee system comes with:

• One knee compression wrap
• One pair of soft cotton underliners to protect the skin
• Accutab® guides for setting compression per strap

How the Wrap Is Used

The Compreflex Standard Knee does not require limb measurements for fitting. Compression can be adjusted strap-by-strap depending on swelling and comfort.

Your nurse or therapist will show you:

• How to apply the wrap correctly
• Which compression level is right for you
• How to adjust it safely as swelling changes

When Is This Wrap Most Helpful?

This knee wrap is suitable for both:

• The intensive decongestive phase, when swelling is being actively reduced
• The maintenance phase, when ongoing compression is needed to prevent fluid buildup

Because of its short-stretch design, it is safe for daytime and nighttime wear when prescribed.

Sizes and Color Options

• Available in Small, Medium, Large, and X-Large
• Comes in beige or black

Your healthcare provider will help choose the correct size.

Final Takeaway

The Sigvaris® Compreflex Standard Knee Compression Wrap offers adjustable, targeted compression for knee swelling related to venous and lymphatic conditions. Its butterfly strap design, easy application, and customizable pressure make it a practical alternative to traditional compression garments—especially for patients with fluctuating edema or difficulty using stockings.

If this wrap has been prescribed for you, your healthcare provider will ensure proper fit and teach you how to use it safely and comfortably.
