Lymphoedema Stockings

Lymphoedema Stockings

Lymphoedema Stockings are compression stockings that force the flow of lymphatic fluid and hence prevent build-up.

Description

General Details

Lymphoedema-Stockings-1What 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)
