Mastectomyshop.com has a full range of hosiery and sleeves for sale online to aid your post-op recovery. Compression sleeves and hosiery help to increase circulation, limit swelling, alleviate discomfort, and reduce recovery time. They can also help to prevent or reduce the effects of lymphedema.
Sleeves for Lymphedema
Lymphedema is swelling caused by too much lymph fluid building up under the skin. It usually occurs in the arms or legs and can be painful and limit movement. A primary cause of lymphedema among cancer patients is surgery, since doctors may sometimes remove lymph nodes to check for the spread of cancer. Radiation treatments can also cause it.
For lymphedema occurring in the arms, MastectomyShop.com has a variety of sleeves to help. The Anita Lymph-O-Fit lymph support arm sleeve is a full-length arm sleeve that has a contoured upper arm area for lymphatic release. The sleeve’s textured structure massages the subcutaneous tissue and minor lymph vessels to help drain the area of lymph fluid. This arm sleeve also has a hand-shaped section to prevent swelling of the hand.
MastectomyShop.com also sells sleeves from the Juzo range of products. Notable among these is the Juzo Dreamsleeve, which is designed for all-day wear for people with mild to moderate lymphedema and comes with full-silicone borders. The Dreamsleeve is made from a soft, lightweight material that is almost unnoticeable when worn.
