What the AI looks for in Arthritis Gloves
- Snug but not restrictive fit
- Measure across the knuckles; fingertips should not tingle or change colour after wear Compression helps swelling only when it is even; over-tight gloves impair circulation.
- Open fingertips
- Open-finger designs if you need touch and grip during the day Full-finger gloves reduce dexterity and grip.
- Breathable fabric
- Cotton-rich fabric for overnight wear Synthetic gloves can get sweaty and irritate skin over long periods.
Brands that matter
- IMAK: Arthritis gloves designed for this specific use.
- Thermoskin: Thermal compression gloves for cold-sensitive stiffness.
- Isotoner: Long-established therapeutic compression glove maker.
What to avoid
- Buying for copper content: the evidence supports compression, not copper
- Ordering a size down for extra tightness
Questions
Do copper gloves work better?
Any benefit comes from the compression and warmth, not the copper.
