  • Overview

    Velcare is a complete bandaging solution for Lymphedema.Lymphedema swelling, which often affects the arm or leg, is caused when extra lymph fluid builds up in tissues because of the blockage, damage or removal of lymph vessels by surgery. Conveniently, all-in-one velcare compression bandaging kit consists of multilayer short stretch bandages, padding and fixation materials which improves tissue texture, reduces limb volume and overall shape of the limb.It is an effective way to achieve compression in lymphedema patients.
