Foams and padding for lymphedema bandaging are specialized cushioning materials that are applied under compression bandages. The materials are designed to conform to the contours of the body and prevent gaps in compression, which helps ensure consistent pressure and support.
Foams and padding for lymphedema bandaging are commonly made from polyurethane foam, polyester fibers, cotton, and synthetic blends. These materials are chosen for their softness, flexibility, and ability to provide consistent compression and cushioning.
Foams and padding can be used on virtually all parts of the body that are affected by lymphedema, including arms, legs, hands, feet, torso, and head.
Foams and padding in lymphedema bandaging are usually placed under a compression bandage or are secured with a cohesive bandage (a bandage that sticks to itself, but not skin, hair, or clothing).
If your foams and padding show visible signs of wear and tear, are thinning or tearing, become dirty, or lose their cushioning, they will need to be replaced.
