ActiLymph Made to Measure (MTM) Ease

Made-to-measure garments for the lower limb. Constructed of soft-feeling fabric for greater patient comfort.

Indications

Class 1 (18–21mmHg): provides light compression and should be used for early/mild chronic oedema and lymphoedema where the oedema is light to moderate with little shape distortion. Suitable for chronic oedema, lymphoedema, lipoedema, prophylaxis, maintenance therapy, palliative use and patients who are pressure sensitive. Class 2 (23–32mmHg): provides medium compression and should be used in cases of moderate to severe chronic oedema or lymphoedema where there may be some shape distortion. Can be used as part of the treatment for, and to provide maintenance therapy of, chronic oedema and lymphoedema.Class 3 (34–46mmHg): provides strong compression and should be used for the maintenance of severe chronic oedema and lymphoedema, where resistant oedema features, where there is a history of recurring ulceration, and where lymphatic damage is considerable. Use when lower compression has failed to control return of oedema.
