I got to try it and initially it helped a lot. My insurance denied payment, so we are refuting that and I am in a wait and see mode. Did you get one?

Donna JonesQuestion-I live in Texas and it has already hit 90 degrees. Are their upper extremity sleeves made out cooler materials that can still provide compression? I have seen the products on lymphdivas but not sure if fabric is lightweight.

BelIeve it or not, but custom flat knit garments are actually the most reachable garments to wear in hot weather.

The Diva fabric is pretty lightweight. There are several questions I would like to ask before I make a product recommendation. Please feel free to contact me at Lymphedema Products - I work with the Norton School - (866) 445-9674.

I have worn both the diva sleeves and flat knit and recommend flat knit. My arm measurements were such that the diva garments didn't fit right and actually made my arm sweat and slide.
