1. A medical compression garment for applying compression to an arm of a patient comprising:
at least one closing part along a longitudinal side of the medical compression garment for fixating the medical compression garment around the arm as to form a sleeve when fixated on the arm;
a first material adapted to be wrapped around the whole circumference of the arm;
a second material fixated on a section of the first material and over the full width of the first material, wherein the second material collapses the first material and over the full width of the first material such that the first material forms wrinkles exclusively at an elbow part of the medical compression garment, wherein the wrinkles extend over the full width of the first material, perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the medical compression garment; and
wherein the second material is more elastic than the first material and the second material is configured to be positioned substantially adjacent to and in contact with the arm of the patient when the compression garment is fixated around the arm of the patient.
