Successful outpatient management of lymphoedema and lymphorrhoea with wrap around compression: a case study

Referral to specialist centres for treatment of lymphoedema can often have long waiting times. Management of a patient with massive lymphoedema and lymphorrhoea was provided in a vascular outpatient setting. A new form of compression using a wraparound system was used for the management (Juxta-Fit, Medi UK). Despite having previously been non-concordant with treatment options, the patient was independent with product use. Lymphorrhoea ceased and there was a marked decrease in girth size. The patient's quality of life improved and maintenance treatment was provided. The use of this compression system could be a valuable treatment alternative to compression bandaging for a select patient group for the treatment of lymphoedema.
