Compression garments are an important part of your Lymphoedema management. The Lymphoedema Nurse will assess each patient individually, and the correct style of garment is selected dependent on clinical need. The Nurse will prescribe your compression garment and if available these will be fitted at your appointment. If we need to order your garment we will arrange for you to collect these at one of our clinics. The Nurse may request a further appointment to fit your garment, if this is the case an appointment will be arranged for you to attend clinic. Two sets of garments will be issued to you, this ensures that you have one garment to wear and one to wash. These garments should last you between 6 to 9 months with daily wear.
You can re-order garments by contacting us via the clinic email: ABB.lymphoedemaorders@wales.nhs.uk or by telephoning the department: 01633 238464 and select Option 1. If we are unavailable please leave a message and one of the team will call you back.
