FAQs About Gauze Bandages For Lymphedema

Gauze bandages play an important role in the management of lymphedema, providing compression that can help reduce swelling by promoting lymphatic drainage. Below are some of the most frequently asked questions about gauze bandages for lymphedema.

  • What Are Gauze Bandages For Lymphedema
  • Definitely not your typical “drugstore” bandage, gauze bandages for lymphedema are specialized medical bandages that are designed to provide compression therapy.

  • What Are The Benefits Of Using Gauze Bandages
  • Compression gauze bandages are often part of a multi-layer bandaging system that is used to treat and manage lymphedema, and they are typically applied in layers. Gauze bandages that are designed for lymphedema can help reduce swelling, prevent the re-accumulation of lymphatic fluid, improve mobility, and protect your skin.

  • What Are The Main Features Of Gauze Bandages
  • The following features set these types of gauze bandages apart and help make them effective for the treatment of lymphedema:

    • short-stretch material (the gauze bandages have limited elasticity and provide firm and consistent support and compression)
    • layering (the gauze bandages can be layered to achieve the optimum level of compression)
    • non-slip (the gauze bandages are designed to stay in place)
    • breathable and lightweight (the gauze bandages ensure that the skin can breathe, which can help prevent skin irritations and infections)

  • How Are Gauze Bandages Applied
  • Gauze bandages are typically applied by starting at the farthest extremity (e.g. the toes or fingers) and moving upwards. Each layer is overlapped by about 50% to help ensure even pressure. The highest pressure is applied at the extremities, with pressure gradually decreasing toward the body. This type of application helps promote lymphatic drainage.

  • How Often Should Gauze Bandages Be Changed
  • Your healthcare provider should make specific recommendations. In general, however, gauze bandages for lymphedema are changed daily. Regular changes help the bandages maintain effective compression.

  • How Do I Know If My Gauze Bandage Is Too Tight Or Too Loose
  • If your gauze bandage is too tight, you might feel pain, tingling, or numbness – or you might see a discoloration at your extremities (e.g. your toes or fingers). If your gauze bandage is too loose, it might slip or not provide sufficient compression (in which case you might not see a reduction in swelling).

  • Can I Reuse My Gauze Bandages
  • Some gauze bandages are designed for single use, while others can be reused and washed. Check the manufacturer instructions. If you do wash your bandages, use a mild detergent and lukewarm water, then air dry them. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as they can degrade the material.
