What is the purpose of using foam or padding under compression bandages?
Lymphedema foam padding serves multiple therapeutic purposes in compression therapy. It helps distribute pressure evenly across the treatment area, preventing pressure points and enhancing comfort during bandaging. Foam also helps soften fibrotic tissue by providing consistent, gentle pressure to hardened areas. When used with compression bandages, padded inserts for compression create channels that encourage lymphatic fluid movement. Brands like Juzo and Wear Ease design their foam products specifically to work with compression systems for maximum therapeutic benefit.
How do I choose the right shape and size of foam padding?
Selecting the right lymphedema foam padding depends on the body part you're treating and the specific therapeutic goal. For limbs, tubular or contoured foam pieces work best to wrap around the arm or leg smoothly. Pressure pads for breast compression are typically flat or slightly contoured to fit comfortably under compression bras or vests. Consider the thickness of the foam as well—thicker padding provides more pressure redistribution, while thinner options work better under tight-fitting garments. Jobst and Sigvaris offer various shapes and densities to match different treatment needs.
Can foam pads be used with both compression bandages and ready-to-wear garments?
Yes, lymphedema foam padding is versatile and can be used with both bandaging systems and ready-to-wear compression garments. When used under compression bandages, foam enhances the massage effect and helps shape the limb. Padded inserts for compression can also be placed under sleeves, stockings, or compression bras to provide targeted pressure to specific areas like fibrotic tissue or areas prone to fluid accumulation. Wear Ease and Juzo design foam products that work seamlessly with various compression systems, giving you flexibility in your treatment approach.
What is the best way to clean and care for my compression foam and padding?
Most lymphedema foam padding can be hand washed with mild soap and warm water to maintain hygiene. Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing or twisting the foam, which can damage its structure. Air dry the foam completely before reusing it—avoid direct heat or sunlight, which can degrade the material. Replace your padded inserts for compression every 3-6 months or when they show signs of deterioration like crumbling or loss of shape. Proper care of your Jobst or Wear Ease foam products ensures they continue to provide effective therapeutic support.
