Compression therapy plays an important role in the treatment of
lymphatic edema. The aim is to increase the pressure in the
tissue in order to achieve an improvement in the absorption of
fluid into the lymphatic vessels for drainage through the lymph
nodes.
Doctors recommend that a
combination of manual lymph drainage, physiotherapy, skin care
and compression bandages initially be used to reduce and
stabilise the lymphatic edema. In cases of prolonged treatment,
the bandages are replaced with a compression garment.
Individual factors, such as, the
patient's susceptibility to a recurrence of swelling and the
weakness of the connective tissues determine which compression
class is prescribed, as well as any contraindicating factors
that may be present. Your Medical Practitioner will recommend
which compression class is suitable.
 At
Toomac Medical we use the Juzo Soft, Juzo Dynamic
and Juzo Expert Lines of
compression products as they can be used to treat a range of
problem areas related to lymphoedema. As they are used in
specialised applications, all Juzo products are made
from resilient, hard-wearing knitted fabrics which meet even the
most exacting demands. Patient comfort and compliance is
paramount.
