Copper Health Gloves - Soothe Hurting Hands The Copper Health gloves use both compression and infused copper to offer the optimum support, comfort. By supporting the hands our gloves help to prevent further damage to the tissue. Compression helps with blood flow and circulation to and from the affected joints. Copper has been used for generations to help with the pain and swelling that plague those who suffer from joint pain, stiffness, and tenderness in the muscles that sufferers endure. Our gloves are made of ultra-light compression material that allows the skin to breathe even as it supports and works to reduce the swelling and tenderness. The joints of the hand are supported giving the wearer a more confident grip when tackling daily tasks such as opening a bottle, turning a doorknob, typing or using a pair of scissors.
