Compression garments help manage lymphedema by applying pressure to the affected area, which helps promote lymph flow and reduce swelling. Lymphedema compression garments provide graduated compression, tighter at the end farthest from the heart, gradually lessening toward the end closest to the heart. This helps push lymph fluid toward the heart.
There is no cure for lymphedema, but compression garments can help manage and control the symptoms.
We have a large selection of compression garments for lymphedema, including: wraps, sleeves, stockings, pantyhose, gloves, gauntlets, shorts, leggings, bras, vests, and more.
Lymphedema compression garments are categorized by the amount of pressure they apply to the body, measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). In different garments, the levels of compression can vary, but the most common ones are:
Millimeters of mercury (mmHg) is a unit of measurement for pressure. In the context of compression garments, mmHg refers to the amount of pressure (tightness) that the garment applies to the body. Higher mmHg numbers represent more pressure.
For all of our lymphedema compression garments, we have sizing charts from the manufacturer. For most garments, you will take multiple measurements to ensure the correct fit. Your healthcare provider will recommend the compression level.
Your healthcare provider should make specific recommendations. In general, however if you are wearing the appropriate compression garment, exercising can help enhance lymphatic drainage and circulation.
Your compression garment should be snug, but not painfully tight. The garment should apply steady pressure, without restricting or cutting off your circulation.
Your healthcare provider should make specific recommendations. In general, however, lymphedema compression garments are worn during waking hours.
Your healthcare provider should make specific recommendations. In general, however, wearing compression garments while you are sleeping is not generally recommended unless they are specifically designed for nighttime wear.
Each manufacturer of compression garments has specific care and cleaning instructions, but many of the garments can be machine washed in a mild detergent (and air dried).
Over time, most lymphedema compression garments lose elasticity (and therefore effectiveness), and they should be replaced every 3-6 months.
No. You can order all of our compression garment products without a prescription. However, we do recommend that you consult a healthcare professional to ensure that you get the recommended garment, if you are unsure as to what you need.
Some insurance plans cover compression garments, 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 garments for lymphedema. The Medicare Part B coverage is limited to: 3 daytime compression garments per affected body part (every 6 months) and 2 nighttime compression garments per affected body part (every 6 months).
