circaid® reduction kit leg
Customisable, adjustable compression device for decongestion of leg lymphoedema- Customisable to patient-individual circumferences
- Adjustable to decreasing circumferences
- Easy handling - simple donning and doffing
Effective and individual compression therapy for the decongestion phase in the treatment of leg lymphoedema
The circaid reduction kit leg is a customisable and individually adjustable compression garment for the initial decongestion phase in leg lymphoedema. The different components create a customised solution that drives decongestion and enables patient participation from the first day.
circaid reduction kit leg consists of the following components:
- lower leg garment
- knee piece
- upper leg garment
The different components are customised to the unique cicrumferences and limb shapes of the patient. As the volume decreases circaid reduction kit can be easily adjusted and trimmed to the new measurements.
Thanks to the integrated Built-In-Tension System (BTS) the patient is able to control and readjust the tension level - for a consistent compression therapy and effective decongestion. For the decongestion of foot lymphoedema please consider circaid customizable interlocking foot wrap.
- Easy and time saving handling – simple donning and doffing
- Adjustable sizes – garment is initially fitted to the patient´s individual circumferences and limb shape
- Ability to reduce size of garment as the limb volume decreases
- Built-In-Tension System (BTS) to set, control and re-adjust the correct therapeutic tension level – enables consistent compression and effective decongestion
- Re-adjustability of the individual bands avoids pressure loss and thus sliding down of the garment – supporting oedema reduction effectively 1,2
- Breathe-O-Prene: breathable and inelastic material with high wall-stability for high working pressure
- Otdour-inhibiting material
Benefits
- Easy handling – time-saving and less susceptible to error 3
- Compression therapy – essential part of the complex lymphoedema therapy 4
- Faster reduction of lymphoedema 5
- Increased patient-adherence: 94.6 % of the users experience the wearing comfort as pleasant 3
- Promotes self-management thanks to easy handling
The compression system is designed to provide compression to the leg for patients with venous and lymphatic disorders.
- Lymphoedema
- other forms of oedema
- Lipoedema
- Chronic venous insufficiency
- Varicose veins
- Venous Stasis Ulcer
- Post Sclerotherapy
- Lipodermatosclerosis
- Severe Peripheral Arterial Disease
- Uncontrolled Congestive Heart Failure
- Septic Phlebitis
- Phlegmasia Cerulea Dolens
- Untreated infection
- Any circumstance where increased venous and lymphatic return is undesirable
- Suspected or known untreated acute DVT
Cautions
- Mild to Moderate Peripheral Arterial Disease
- Impaired Sensation - must be able to sense applied pressure
- Intolerance to material(s)
- Pediatric & assisted use - must be able to sense & communicate applied pressure
