Lymphoedema Stockings
Lymphoedema Stockings are compression stockings that force the flow of lymphatic fluid and hence prevent build-up.
Description
General Details
What is Lymphoedema?
Lymphoedema is a build-up of lymph in the fatty tissues under the skin. This leads to swelling in the arms. Secondary lymphoedema is seen in cancer patients where lymph nodes are removed along with the tumour. It is estimated that about 30% of women undergoing breast cancer treatment will develop lymphoedema. Lymphoedema may develop immediately after surgery (short-term lymphoedema) or even after many months (long-term).
How can Lymphoedema Stockings help?
Comprezon Lymphoedema Stockings and Sleeves help to:
- Stop (the flow of lymphatic fluid from torn lymph vessels)
- Soften fibrosis (which is a hardening of the limb with resulting restriction of circulatory flow)
- Reduce lymphatic fluid accumulation (by forcing a flow through the limb)
Technical Details
Why is Comprezon the best choice in Lymphoedema Stockings?
- Comprezon is made using specialised European machinery to provide ACCURATE and GRADUATED compression
- Comprezon is made to European standards
- Comprezon provides international quality at almost half the price (MRP) of imported stockings. Other “stockings” manufactured in India are either “stitched” or “ tubular garments”. These cannot provide graduated and accurate compression. Graduated compression that is essential to ensure blood flows back up the leg. Incorrect pressure gradients may result in worsening the patient’s condition
- Comprezon uses imported technical yarns to ensure quality, durability and skin friendliness
- Unlike cheap lookalikes, Comprezon retains its pressure gradient over many months of use
- Available throughout the country via 2000 distributors
- Well-trained field staff throughout the country to answer any questions you may have
