Compression foot caps and toe caps are tight-fitting sleeves that cover the foot, toes, or both. They deliver consistent, targeted pressure that can help reduce swelling and improve lymphatic flow.
Compression foot caps and toe caps apply direct compression to the affected areas that can help promote lymph fluid drainage, prevent fluid accumulation, and maintain your foot and toe shape and function.
In addition to lymphedema, compression foot caps and toe caps can also be beneficial if you have had surgery or radiation treatments that have affected lymphatic drainage in your feet and toes. And the compression caps can also be used to treat and manage venous insufficiency, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, arthritis, gout, and other medical conditions.
Compression socks are designed to provide generalized compression along the foot and calf, whereas compression foot caps and toe caps specifically target your foot and individual toes with a higher degree of precision and pressure.
Compression foot and toe caps come in various compression levels (see above). Your healthcare provider will recommend the correct pressure level, based on the severity of your lymphedema and your medical history. The higher the mmHg level, the higher the compression.
For your compression foot caps and toe caps to be effective and comfortable, they need to fit properly. The compression should feel firm, but not overly tight. The pressure should be distributed evenly across the foot and/or toes, without any areas feeling pinched or excessively squeezed. There should not be any bunching up, which could lead to pressure points, discomfort, and restricted blood flow. You should be able to move your toes relatively easily within the cap. If you cannot, the cap might be too tight. And if your foot cap or toe cap is working correctly, you should notice a reduction in swelling.
Your healthcare provider should make specific recommendations. In general, however, compression foot caps and toe caps are worn throughout the day and removed at night.
Generally, compression foot caps and toe caps should be replaced every 3-6 months, because of stretching and the wear and tear from regular use.
You will need to follow the specific instructions from the manufacturer of your compression foot caps and toe caps. In general, however, most compression foot caps and toe caps can be washed in mild detergent, rinsed thoroughly, and air-dried. You should avoid fabric softeners and bleach, because they can degrade the material.
No. You can order all of our compression foot caps and toe caps without a prescription.
Some insurance plans cover compression foot caps and toe caps, with a prescription. Check with your insurance provider for specifics about your coverage.
Starting in January 2024, thanks to the Lymphedema Treatment Act, Medicare began covering compression products, including compression bandaging systems and supplies that are used during the initial decongestion phases and maintenance phases of lymphedema treatment.
