Panty Hose compression garments are usually worn during the secondary, or "maintenance" phase of Lymphedema treatment after completion of complete decongestive therapy, or "CDT". Panty Hose compression garments are made in a variety of sizes and colors, and are especially designed to fit the various anatomical structures of the waist and legs.

Panty Hose compression garments are rated as to the amount of compression they apply, and it is important to choose the correct compression level that is required. Compression is measured in units referred to as millimeters of mercury or "mmHg", and should selected for treatment as follows.

  • Class 0: 15 - 20 mmHg – for those at risk for Lymphedema
  • Class I: 20 - 30 mmHg – for those at risk, or who have early or mild Lymphedema
  • Class II: 30 - 40 mmHg – for moderate or severe Lymphedema
  • Class III: 40 - 50 mmHg – for severe or hard to control Lymphedema
  • While Panty Hose compression garments may be difficult to don and take off, there are an array of donning and doffing aids which will help the patient to easily use them. Also be sure to protect your investment by using detergents that are specially formulated for compression garments.
