Here's a helpful tip on bandaging from Marcy, one of our Certified Lymphedema Therapists:
When managing Lymphedema, patients are frequently instructed to use bandaging as a way to decrease the amount of swelling they have before they are fitted for custom compression garments or as a strategy to help reduce transient swelling once well managed. It can be confusing what types of bandages to use if you haven't been instructed and educated in them, so the team provided some information about ACE Wraps (which should never be used to treat Lymphedema) versus Short Stretch Bandages (which are a key component to proper Lymphedema management).
Thanks for the intel, Marcy!
