Garment Fitting and Training
COMPRESSION GARMENTS
(Day time)
Gradient Compression therapy helps manage and prevent the progression of lymphedema, vein-related diseases or any swelling. Gradient compression garments help lymphatic fluid and blood flow in the right direction. At Lymphtax our therapists are trained to help and instruct every patient to be independent with applying and removing their compression garments and provide adapted devices to facilitate ease of application. Upon evaluation, a therapist will determine which compression class is appropriate for your condition such as 8-15 mmHg, 15-20 mmHg, 20-30 mmHg, and over 30-40 mmHg or custom requires a doctor’s prescription. We have compression stockings such as knee highs, thigh highs and pantyhose. Additionally, we carry compression sleeves and gloves for arm(s) and hand(s) swelling.
We have a selection of different brands such as JUZO, Medi, and JOBST in custom and ready made sizes.
COMPRESSION GARMENTS
(Night Time)
Compression Garments for night time use play a vital role in maintaining the reduction of swelling after a course of CDT therapy. Every patient who goes though CDT treatment is instructed in self-bandaging with short stretch compression bandages. However, not all people can or want to bandage themselves at night. Therefore, the following products are available to help to maintain the reduction of swelling in the limb(s):
- Circaid
- Juxta Fit
- Solaris
- Reid Sleeve
- Farrow wrap
FITTING FOR TRAVEL GARMENTS
Commonly at risk are people who fly or sit for long periods of time. An effective way to keep your legs or arms healthy during air travel is by wearing graduated compression stockings/sleeves. Compression garments apply a comfortable pressure on the outside of the leg or arm to support the veins and vein valves.
