What are Lymphedema Pads?

Lymphedema pads are pre-formed pads designed to break down and soften the hardened fibrotic tissue under the skin. Lymphedema pads are recommended if you have pockets of pronounced swelling, scarring, and hardening of soft tissue beneath the skin. Foam pads or swell spots are used as a part of the lymphedema management program by providing localized compression to specific parts of the body. In areas of stagnant and concentrated protein-heavy lymphatic fluid, localized, targeted pressure and compression can help in breaking down the concentration, creating a softer skin area. These pads are extremely versatile and can be used on various parts of the body and under any compressions like garments, bandages, or wraps. Your therapist will help you choose the right pad and show you how to place these pads under compression bandages or garments.

Health Products For You provides a comprehensive selection of Lymphedema Foam Padding to meet every patient's needs. There are fossa pads to protect the delicate popliteal fossa area, such as a malleolus pad ideal for pressure distribution to the perimalleolar region of the ankle, anterior pads for mastectomy and lumpectomy care, and male/female genital pads for scrotal or labial swelling and fibrosis. Also available are palm pads, which help maintain proper functional arches of the hand under bandage pressure. All these products are from the leading manufacturer, BSN Medical.
