Collection: Compression Stockings & Garments for Lymphedema

Lymphedema compression garments are a cornerstone of lymphedema management. Graduated compression stockings help manage lymphatic fluid accumulation by providing external pressure that encourages fluid movement through the lymphatic system.

Lymphedema affects the limbs when the lymphatic system is damaged or blocked, commonly following surgery, radiation therapy, or injury involving lymph nodes. At CompressionSale, lymphedema compression garments include leg compression stockings in 20-30 and 30-40 mmHg from JOBST, Sigvaris, and Juzo. Lymphedema compression therapy should always be prescribed and fitted by a certified lymphedema therapist or healthcare provider.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are compression stockings used for lymphedema?

Yes. Compression stockings are a primary component of complete decongestive therapy (CDT) for lymphedema management. Graduated compression garments provide external pressure that helps move lymphatic fluid from the affected limb. For leg lymphedema, compression stockings in 20-30 or 30-40 mmHg are commonly prescribed as part of a lymphedema management plan overseen by a certified lymphedema therapist.

What compression level is used for lymphedema?

Lymphedema compression garments are typically in the 20-30 mmHg firm or 30-40 mmHg extra firm range, depending on the severity and phase of lymphedema treatment. During the maintenance phase, compression garments maintain reductions achieved. Compression level must be prescribed by a certified lymphedema therapist or physician.

Should I consult a doctor before using compression for lymphedema?

Yes. Lymphedema compression therapy must be directed by a healthcare provider — ideally a certified lymphedema therapist (CLT). Compression level, garment type, and wearing schedule for lymphedema are individualized based on location, severity, and phase of lymphedema. Always seek professional guidance for lymphedema compression.

What compression garment types are used for leg lymphedema?

Leg lymphedema compression garments include compression knee highs, thigh high stockings, and pantyhose. For extensive leg lymphedema, custom-fitted garments may be required. Standard off-the-shelf compression stockings in 20-30 or 30-40 mmHg from JOBST, Sigvaris, and Juzo are used for maintenance phase lymphedema management when the limb has stabilized.

What brands offer lymphedema compression stockings?

Compression stockings for lymphedema maintenance are available from JOBST, Sigvaris, and Juzo in 20-30 and 30-40 mmHg options in knee high and thigh high styles. For complex or severe lymphedema, custom-measured garments may be required — Juzo and Sigvaris offer custom lymphedema garments.
