compression boots lymphedema
Compression stockings for lymphedema are specifically made for giving therapeutic pressure on the extremities, which are characterized by swelling caused by accumulated lymph fluid. These boots are multifunctional. They help reduce swelling, stimulate circulation and block the progression of lymphedema. Special technological features used in these boots include adjustability of compress levels, a gradient pressure design which is tightest in the lower part and progressively less toward the top, and durable breathin g material for long-term use. Compression boot applications include post-surgery recovery, chronic lymphedema management in patients who need to avoid strain on their legs and prevention of deep vein thrombosis. The way the boots function is to get lymph fluid moving in reverse back towards the heart out of the affected limb.
