TGA Assessed & Listed - Health Rebates
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA)* is responsible for ensuring that therapeutic goods available for supply in Australia are safe and fit for their intended purpose.
TheRY compression products have been properly assessed and are listed on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG). They may be eligible for health rebates with many private insurance health funds, it is best to check with your provider as it may depend on your level of extras cover.
Products that do not have an ARTG number and have not been assessed by the TGA may not be providing you any compression benefits, and in the worse cases, could be restricting circulation and creating more issues.
