A compression system for applying compression to a body part of a user. The compression system has a sleeve for substantially covering a portion of the body part of a user. The sleeve has two lateral side edges. In the transverse direction from the first lateral side edge to the second lateral side edge the sleeve has a first lateral side region, a central region and a second lateral side region. At least the central region of the sleeve has a material with elasticity in the transverse direction and longitudinal direction of the sleeve. The compression system has a releasable closure system. Upon closure of the closure system the sleeve is restrained and tightened about the body part of the user.
