Lymphoedema Sleeves

Lymphoedema Sleeves

What is Lymphoedema?

“Oedema” means swelling due to fluid accumulation. Lymphoedema sleeves are required post-mastectomy if the lymphatic nodes have been removed.

Lymphoedema is a build-up of lymph in the fatty tissues under the skin. This leads to swelling in the arms. Secondary lymphoedema is seen in cancer patients where lymph nodes are removed along with the tumour. It is estimated that about 30% of women undergoing breast cancer treatment will develop lymphoedema. Lymphoedema may develop immediately after surgery (short-term lymphoedema) or even after many months (long-term).

How can Lymphoedema Stockings help

Comprezon Lymphoedema Stockings and Sleeves help to:

Lymphoedema sleeves apply pressure to the arm to keep lymphatic fluid flowing in the right direction up the arm.  Sleeves are tighter at the wrist and looser up the arm. This creates a pressure gradient to help the flow of lymph upwards.

Why is Comprezon the best choice in Lymphoedema Stockings?

Comprezon Lymphoedema Sleeves are made in India since 2003 using specialised German machinery and imported yarns.

Indications for use

Class 2(23 -32mmHg): Mild Lymphoedema

It is recommended to have two sets of sleeves so that one set can be washed while the other is being used. Typically, sleeves need to be replaced every 6 months as they lose elasticity with constant wear.

It is advised not to use creams or moisturisers on the arm before wearing the sleeve because the chemicals in such creams can damage the fibres.

Variants

Comprezon Lymphoedema Stockings and Sleeves are available only in Class 2 (23-32 mmHg pressure).
Class 2 is usually prescribed for Mild Lymphoedema.
