Rubber Foam Padding For Lymphedema Bandaging And Fibrosis

In a multi-layer compression bandage for lymphedema, the first layer is typically a stockinette. The next layer is a padding layer. Rubber foam provides the heavy-duty padding that’s often used to treat fibrosis (thickened, hardened, or scarred tissue).
