Lymphoedema Sleeves

I don't have lymphoedema but in my internet noodling today I came across these. Thought they looked rather fun. No idea if they're any good but the woman I saw wearing one has had cancer three times and seemed pretty happy with her sleeve.

  • My lymphodema physio measured me and worked out which was okay for me. I don't always have lymphodema but have experienced it after traveling so have one for then. 
  • They are sold in Australia under the name Lymphedonna
    The website is:

     lymphedonna.com.au

    My lymphoedema physio recently took over management of this product in Australia. They are said to be class 2 garments but certainly they are not as strong as my jobst garments. They certainly couldn't replace those. Liz has said it may be ok for me for occasional wear only, but not as a replacement for my usual garments.

    There are some great designs
  • @glynnis The lymphoedema rebates vary from state to state.  I live in SA and I believe that it is the only state that currently has no rebate.
  • @Sister Thank you, I'm check with my physio next month I seem to remember doing a form to perhaps get them cheaper but will look into it
