Compression garments are an effective way to manage Lymphedema.
They do so by providing a compression gradient which
helps reduce fluid and limb size. This gradient encourages lymph
fluid to flow toward the trunk, allowing for drainage and limb reduction.
Custom compression garments are made to the exact
dimensions of the affected limb. An accurate and consistent gradient
compression is provided to the affected limb.
Pneumatic compression consists of a sleeve which
is placed over the affected arm or leg. This sleeve is connected
to a pump that intermittently inflates the sleeve, putting pressure
on the limb. The inflated sleeve gently moves lymph fluid away from
the fingers or toes, reducing the swelling in the affected arm or
leg.
Our compression specialists and certified fitters are dedicated
to helping our patients regain good limb health as quickly and comfortably
as possible.
