Lymphedema Garment Fittings
Lymphedema is an accumulation of lymphatic fluid that causes swelling in the extremities; arms and legs
Lymphedema that occurs on its own is called primary lymphedema. It can be present at birth or may develop later in life as an unknown cause.
Breast or abdominal surgery can result in secondary lymphedema. Surgical removal of a tumor and the adjacent lymph nodes and vessels can block lymph fluid from flowing naturally through its system. Other surgeries that require lymph node removal are those performed for skin cancer-melanoma, gynecological cancers, bladder or colon cancer and prostate or testicular cancer.
In our office we provide professional fitting for Ready-Made and Custom Made Lymphedema Garments:
- Arm sleeves gloves and gauntlets, vest
- Stockings of all lengths, toe gloves, pantyhose and much more.
We construct elastic and non-elastic compression garments for arms and legs. Custom garments are professionally measured and ordered for each client. We make sure to re-measure each and every time new garment is due to be ordered. Most Lymphedema Garments need to be replaced every 3-4 months.
Health Canada –ADP covers 75% of approved cost for Lymphedema garments both primary and secondary. We provide complete assistance in understanding and will guide through ADP approval as well as secondary insurance billing.
Mastectomy Boutique
From our personal day to day experience we know how challenging it can be for women with healthy breasts to get the right fit, a well-fitting bra is essential, especially for those who have undergone mastectomy or reconstruction after breast cancer.
Post-mastectomy and lumpectomy procedures vary. Some women opt for a prosthesis, which is essentially a breast form (silicone, foam or fiber-fill) that is placed inside of a bra or attached to the chest wall. Other women choose to undergo surgical reconstruction that will involve the insertion of an implant.
All at the end need properly fitted bra to avoid any possible complications, feel and look great. Best fitted bra and proper fitted breast form, helps bring back confidants. John Hopkins Medicine advises that mastectomy boutiques and specialty shops carry a variety of prosthetics and garments. Certified and properly trained fitters, who are skilled at fitting women who have undergone treatment for breast cancer, are big part of women’s future new journey.
