Lymphedema/Compression

Compression support for swelling, comfort, and everyday movement.

Lymphedema is a chronic condition that can cause swelling when lymph fluid builds up in the body's tissues. It may happen after damage or obstruction in the lymphatic system, including cancer treatment, surgery, infections, or genetic conditions.

Compression therapy helps manage lymphedema by using pressure to move excess fluid out of the affected area and help prevent it from accumulating. This can reduce swelling, support lymphatic drainage, and help ease discomfort associated with lymphedema.

When should I wear compression?

Compression for lymphedema is typically worn during the day and removed at night unless otherwise advised by a healthcare professional. Some people may need more frequent wear during intense treatment phases or with more severe swelling.

Why should I be measured?

Well-fitting compression is essential for controlling swelling. Accurate measurement helps the team guide product selection around comfort, support, and fit.
