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.
