Compression Garments for Lymphedema Relief

Living with lymphedema often means managing ongoing swelling, discomfort, and limited mobility—but compression garments can offer real, day-to-day relief. These specialized garments apply consistent pressure to the affected area, encouraging better circulation and helping to move lymphatic fluid more effectively. That pressure not only reduces swelling but also helps relieve some of the pain and heaviness associated with the condition.

Wearing the right compression garment regularly can support improved movement, reduce the risk of complications like skin irritation or infection, and make it easier to stay active and independent.

Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have been managing lymphedema for years, having a garment that fits properly—and feels comfortable—can make all the difference.

At Care-Med, we offer a range of compression solutions, including custom-fitted garments tailored to your unique measurements and needs. Our certified fitters take the time to understand your condition and walk you through your options, so you can feel confident in your care and comfort.

Not All Compression Is Created Equal

Compression garments vary in type, fit, and function.

What makes a garment “custom” versus “off-the-shelf”?2025-04-19T00:02:27-04:00

Custom garments are made to your specific measurements and are ideal for unique body shapes or more advanced lymphedema. Off-the-shelf options come in standard sizes but can still provide excellent support for many.

How often do compression garments need to be replaced?2025-04-19T00:02:06-04:00

Typically every 4 to 6 months, depending on wear and care. Over time, garments can lose their elasticity and effectiveness, even if they look fine.

Are there nighttime options for lymphedema management?2025-04-19T00:01:46-04:00

Yes, there are specially designed night garments that provide gentler compression while lying down. These can complement your daytime wear and support round-the-clock care.

Are lymphedema garments covered by insurance?2025-02-15T19:03:34-05:00

Insurance coverage varies, but medical-grade compression garments may be covered if prescribed for lymphedema management. Check with your provider for eligibility details.

Do lymphedema garments need to be worn every day?2025-04-19T00:01:01-04:00

Most people benefit from daily use, especially during active hours. Consistent wear helps maintain lymphatic flow and manage symptoms, but your schedule may vary depending on your condition and treatment plan.

What’s the difference between compression levels?2025-04-19T00:09:08-04:00

Compression levels indicate how much pressure the garment applies. Lower levels are often used for mild swelling or prevention, while higher levels are recommended for more advanced stages of lymphedema. Care-Med’s certified fitter can help determine what’s appropriate for your needs.

How do I wash and care for my lymphedema garments?2025-04-19T00:02:55-04:00

Most garments require gentle washing by hand or on a delicate cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and high heat. Proper care helps extend their lifespan and performance.
