Mediven Flat-Knit
How to Choose Custom Lymphedema Garments?
Selecting the fitting custom compression garment for lymphedema management requires careful consideration of the patient’s unique therapeutic needs. At Innovative Therapy PC, in collaboration with Mediven®, we offer custom flat-knit compression garments that provide a precise fit down to the millimeter to support each patient’s journey.
Mediven® flat-knit compression garments come in a wide range of classes, containment levels, fabrics, colors, and patterns, ensuring the best possible match for both functional and aesthetic needs. These custom-made garments are particularly suited for patients in the maintenance phase of lymphedema treatment after they have achieved a stable limb volume.
Critical Considerations for Choosing Flat-Knit Materials
- Level of Containment: A robust or stiffer material is recommended for patients requiring more containment. This provides stronger support for more advanced lymphedema cases, ensuring the garment effectively maintains limb volume.
- Patient Activity: For patients who lead active lifestyles, selecting material and design that allows greater freedom of movement is essential. Certain fabrics are more flexible, allowing patients to stay mobile while still receiving the necessary compression.
- Application Needs: Ease of use and comfort are critical for patient compliance. Selecting the right style and fit can make the garment more straightforward to apply, wear, and remove, which is particularly important for patients who may be new to compression therapy.
Mediven® offers options ranging from strong, reliable compression garments for maximum containment to lighter, more discreet options ideal for day-to-day comfort. These garments cater to both lower and upper extremity needs and are designed to manage primary and secondary lymphedema up to stage 3 and lipedema up to stage 3.
At Innovative Therapy PC, we work closely with patients to ensure they receive custom-fit garments tailored to their specific measurements, activity levels, and containment needs. Our personalized approach, along with Mediven®’s advanced flat-knit options, ensures the best support and comfort for lymphedema management.
