The July 2023 Lymphedema Patient Roundtable, Hosted by

It’s summertime and a lot of people are going on vacation, but as we all know: #lymphedema does not take a break. Whether going down the shore or traveling across the globe, the panelists and attendees at the July Lymphedema Patient Roundtable shared some great tips for managing lymphedema away from home.
From #compressiongarments and bandages to tips on how to find a certified #lymphedematherapist, the conversation was bursting with information and resources. There's a lot to be pumped about this summer, too, with Catherine Rosenberg sharing an update on her recent suction-assisted lipectomy surgery and Alexa Ercolano relaying her excitement to participate in the pediatric lymphedema summer camp, #CampWatchme.

Unfortunately Lympha Press no longer can be sold in Canada. I was selling it for many years. Heath Canada no longer approves it ( as of end of 2018). It’s a great pump.
I would love to participate in one of your sessions and help with understanding different brands and knits for compresion wear. I teach garments to lymphedema teams at all Toronto hospitals and most private clinics. Happy to share useful information 😊

Such a great support. I am a certified fitter and clinic owner in Toronto. It’s 30 days for Medi.
45 for Juzo and Jobst
Unfortunately on line bought garments are not covered by insurance in Canada. Has to be purchased from a certified and approved vendor that has actual location where you can visit and get measured. Can be done vertically.
It’s so great to hear that most of you understand how important it is to maintain reduction until new garments comes in.
In Canada we have year around coverage by insurance, as long as there is one in place.
