Custom Lymphedema Compression Garments
Custom compression garments are designed to apply specific levels of pressure to affected areas, which can help facilitate the flow of lymphatic fluid, prevent fluid buildup, and reduce swelling.
Designed to help prevent, manage and treat lymphedema, edema, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), venous insufficiencies, and other medical conditions, custom compression garments are made just for you!
Many of the custom compression garments can be worn and night, and some even allow you to sleep in your favorite positions and enjoy a full range of motion. The gradient, custom compression that these garments provide helps ensure long-term reduction and maintenance of lymphedema.
The precise fit and adjustments of the custom compression garments (to your condition, treatment and body contours) help ensure that you have the compression you need, when and where you need it.
The custom garments can also help address fluctuations in swelling, as well as issues with persistent “refill.”

Benefits Of Custom Compression Garments
When treating lymphedema, edema, and other medical conditions, you want to do everything you can to provide the best care for yourself. And for most people, custom compression garments work better than their standard counterparts.
There are a number of reasons to use custom compression garments, including:
Comfort And Fit: Unlike off-the-shelf options, custom compression garments are tailored to fit the unique contours of your body, providing a more comfortable and effective fit. This ensures that the pressure is evenly distributed, which helps prevent areas of too little or too much compression.
Adaptability for Changes in Body Shape: As your body changes because of lymphedema progression, weight fluctuations, or other factors, custom compression garments can be adjusted or altered to ensure continued effectiveness and comfort.
Increased Mobility And Daily Function: By reducing the swelling and discomfort associated with lymphedema, custom compression garments can help you perform daily tasks more easily and maintain a more active lifestyle.
Peace Of Mind: Wearing a custom compression garment that fits well and works effectively can help increase your confidence and decrease your anxiety about lymphedema symptoms.
Reduced Risk Of Skin Infections: Because lymphedema often leads to skin changes and an increased risk of infections, the proper compression levels provided by custom compression garments can help maintain healthy skin as they reduce swelling and improve circulation.
Durability And Effectiveness: In general, custom compression garments are often made of higher quality materials than standard ones, offering better durability and sustained compression over time. While the initial cost of buying a custom compression garment can be higher, in the long run, they can be a more cost-effective solution for managing lymphedema.

Custom compression garments are specially designed garments that fit snugly over affected limbs and provide targeted compression.
Custom compression garments help manage lymphedema by stimulating lymph fluid circulation and preventing fluid accumulation in the tissues.
Custom compression garments are tailored to fit the unique contours of your body, and they can provide more precise compression levels and a better fit than standard compression garments. This can be especially important if you require specific pressure distribution to effectively manage your lymphedema and/or if standard compression garments do not conform well to your limb shape.
With proper care, custom compression garments should last 6 months before they start to lose elasticity and will need to be replaced.
We carry custom compression garments – from a wide range of manufacturers – for all parts of the body. These garments come in different types of materials and compression levels.
Some of our most popular custom compression garments include:
Custom Compression Stockings – Custom knee-high and thigh-high stockings are specially tailored to fit the unique contours of your legs. These garments offer precise compression to improve blood flow and lymphatic drainage. They can be used to manage and treat lymphedema, as well as varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), post-surgery swelling, and other medical conditions. Knee-high custom compression stockings primarily cover the foot, ankle, and calf. Thigh-high custom compression stockings extend from the foot to the mid-thigh. Both types of custom compression stockings can help reduce swelling, enhance circulation, and decrease the risk of blood clot formation.
Custom Arm Sleeves – Designed for the unique dimensions of your arm, custom arm sleeves help ensure a perfect fit and optimal pressure distribution. Custom arm sleeves apply graduated compression (tightest at the wrist, decreasing up the arm), which helps facilitate lymph fluid flow, reduce swelling, and prevent the progression of lymphedema.
In custom compression garments, the most common levels of compression are:
Many of our custom garments can be easily adjusted, to accommodate daily fluctuations and as your long term needs change (e.g. you move out of the intensive therapy stage of lymphedema treatment to a maintenance stage). However, depending on the type of compression garment you are using, you may need to replace it if it stretches out or if you have a significant change in your limb size.
You will need to follow the specific instructions from the manufacturer of your garment. In general, however, most custom compression garments can be washed in mild detergent, rinsed thoroughly, and air-dried. You should avoid fabric softeners and bleach, because they can degrade the material on the garment.
No. You can order all of our custom compression garments without a prescription.
Some insurance plans cover custom compression garments, with a prescription. Check with your insurance provider for specifics about your coverage.
Starting in January 2024, thanks to the Lymphedema Treatment Act, Medicare began covering compression products, including compression bandaging systems and supplies that are used during the initial decongestion phases and maintenance phases of lymphedema treatment.
