Custom Compression Stockings – Knee-High And Thigh High

Custom compression stockings are designed to apply precise, graduated pressure to your legs. This pressure promotes the movement of lymph fluid out of your leg, and back into the lymphatic system. Because of their precise fit, custom compression stockings help apply more accurate and consistent pressure across your entire leg, even in areas with unusual shapes, indentations, or size variations. With custom compression stockings, the lymph fluid can be properly redirected, without causing gaps, pinching, or restricted flow.

Custom Compression Pantyhose

Custom compression pantyhose for lymphedema apply full-leg, graduated pressure – from the feet to the waist – to help reduce and control lymphedema swelling. Custom-made compression pantyhose deliver consistent, precise compression to your legs, even if you have uneven swelling, sensitive areas, or unusual proportions.

Custom Compression Foot Caps

Custom compression foot caps for lymphedema provide targeted, graduated pressure to the toes, front of your feet (ball of your foot and base of your toes), and the top part of your foot. This pressure helps reduce swelling, prevent fluid buildup, and maintain lymphatic flow. A custom-made foot cap will precisely match the shape of your foot and toes, even if you have hard-to-fit or irregularly shaped feet.

Custom Compression Toe Caps

Custom compression toe caps are designed to reduce swelling in the toes by applying gentle, consistent pressure to each toe. This helps move the fluid out of the toes and back into the lymphatic system. The compression of the toe caps also helps prevent fluid buildup, improve circulation, and maintain the shape of the toes. With custom-made compression toe caps, you can be assured that the right amount of pressure will be applied to each toe, based on its unique size and shape.
