SAWC Fall 2018: Novel Compression Garment for Complex Edema
By Susan Paquette on 4/24/19 10:00 AM
SmartTRAK highlights the latest research on Sigvaris SECURE presented at SAWC Fall
A novel hybrid compression garment offers promise for patients with difficult-to-treat chronic edema according to an 11-patient case series presented at SAWC Fall. Patients with chronic edema, including lymphedema, are challenged in finding compression garments that are clinically efficacious, cosmetically appealing and comfortable to wear. The 11-patient case series evaluated Sigvaris’ recently launched SECURE, an innovative new Compression and Containment Hybrid (CCH) garment that combines the comfort of circular knit garments and the stiffness traditionally provided by thicker textiles, inelastic wraps or flat knit garments. The new hybrid circular knit garments are thin, cosmetically appealing, and meet the clinical requirement of chronic edema management – graduated compression and containment.
