Certified Fitting for Lymphedema Garments

Q: What’s the difference between compression levels?

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.

Comfort-Driven Garments
for Lymphedema Management

Managing lymphedema is a long-term process, one that often comes with swelling, tightness, and changes in mobility. The right compression garment won’t solve everything, but it can make a noticeable difference in how you feel throughout the day. When properly fit, compression helps control fluid buildup, ease discomfort, and support better movement.

Lymphedema garments aren’t just about pressure. They’re carefully designed to follow the natural shape of your body while providing consistent support where it’s needed most; whether that’s the arms, legs, or trunk. Graduated compression helps reduce swelling by encouraging lymphatic flow and preventing fluid from collecting in vulnerable areas.

At Care-Med Ltd, we specialize in fitting medical-grade garments that feel good to wear and actually do their job. We’ve worked with people at all stages of lymphedema, helping them find compression solutions that fit comfortably and hold up to daily use. From lightweight sleeves to full-leg garments and custom options, we’re here to guide you every step of the way, in person or virtually.

Compression that fits into your day

A good compression garment should feel like something you can live in, not something that gets in the way. That’s why we focus on options that are breathable, flexible, and comfortable enough for everyday use.

From staying active to getting through a long workday, our garments are designed to keep up. We carry a wide range of styles, sizes, and materials, including choices for sensitive skin, post-surgical recovery, and harder-to-fit areas.

If you’re not sure what you need, we’ll walk you through it. Our certified fitters will help you find the right fit.

Managing Lymphedema Starts With the Right Support

Lymphedema brings ongoing challenges, from swelling and tightness to heaviness that can slow you down. The right compression garment won’t fix everything, but it can make daily life more manageable by supporting lymph flow, reducing buildup, and helping you stay comfortable.

Circulation and Lymph Flow

Graduated compression gently encourages fluid to move away from affected areas, helping reduce swelling and that constant sense of heaviness, especially in the limbs.

Maintain Progress After Treatment

Post-surgical or post-therapy garments help manage swelling and protect results by keeping fluid from building up again.

Controls Fluid Buildup

Targeted pressure can slow down the accumulation of fluid in areas prone to swelling, helping you stay ahead of flare-ups.

Makes Daily Movement Easier

Less swelling means less restriction. A well-fitted garment can make it easier to walk, stretch, and go about your day with fewer interruptions from discomfort.

Eases Pressure Sensitivity

Compression helps create a stable layer around sore, swollen tissue, reducing tenderness without feeling stiff or restrictive.

Fits Into Long-Term Care

Lymphedema doesn’t go away, but the right garment can help you manage it more confidently, with tools that actually fit and last.
