Managing chronic edema and lymphedema.
Focus on what's important.
Lymphedema is a chronic condition resulting from congenital defects or secondary damage due to surgical disruption, radiation, or trauma to the lymphatic system. It is estimated that 1 million Canadians1 suffer from lymphedema and it can affect men, women and children.2 3M has developed a system to help improve lives by effectively reducing edema, allowing mobility and reducing pain.3,4,5
