JOBST

Efficient lymphedema care depends on two essentials: reliable edema control and solutions that patients can actually use in their daily lives. JOBST® FarrowWrap® is designed to support easy donning during decongestion and maintenance. Its adjustable overlapping design across LITE, Classic and Strong helps provide the compression needed to reduce limb swelling, while the broad overlaps are designed to help reduce the risk of swelling between the bands.

💡 One of the most frequent complaints healthcare professionals hear from patients wearing compression is: “My stocking slides down and bunches up.” Sliding, pinching, or rolling top bands can significantly impact patient comfort and ultimately adherence. JOBST® SoftFit™ patented technology was designed to address exactly this challenge. A silicone yarn in the top band provides a gentle yet secure hold, helping keep the garment in place throughout the day without constricting. By applying less pressure than traditional top bands, JOBST SoftFit can enhance comfort, stability, and ultimately adherence. Available in knee‑high styles and arm sleeves for lymphedema, lipedema, and venous conditions. 👉 Help your patients experience compression therapy that truly stays in place https://lnkd.in/de3Bhw6q *Münter C.

Living with lipedema can be emotionally challenging for your patients, affecting how they see themselves and how they manage their symptoms. Social media often reinforces the narrow beauty ideal of a slim body with thin legs, which can increase shame and isolation. As a professional working with compression therapy, you can make a real difference by acknowledging these psychological burdens, addressing weight stigma, creating a safe space, and providing the right care. 👉 Learn more about lipedema https://lnkd.in/dcig35uA

It’s a myth that lipedema causes easy bruising. Some lipedema patients report easy bruising, but current evidence does not show that lipedema causes easy or frequent bruising. Importantly, such bruises do not distinguish lipedema from other conditions and are not reliable as a diagnostic criterion. When a patient presents with frequent, spontaneous bruising, these should be explored first, rather than assuming lipedema is the cause. Knowing the facts empowers you to support your patients with confidence and the right care.

💡Moisture buildup is one of the most common comfort complaints in compression therapy and a key barrier to adherence. When garments feel sweaty or damp, patients are less likely to wear them consistently, negatively impacting therapeutic outcomes. JOBST® Confidence was designed to address this challenge. Its advanced moisture management technology, featuring a double-layer construction, wicks moisture away from the skin, helping patients feel drier and more comfortable throughout the day. A clinical study confirmed improved patient satisfaction.* 👉 Learn more about how JOBST Confidence can support your patients https://lnkd.in/eNJv83YN *Hirsch T et al.

It’s a myth that there is edema in lipedema.
 For many years, lipedema was described as a condition involving fluid build‑up or swelling in the legs. Today, experts agree that lipedema is not caused by venous or lymphatic dysfunction, as clinical exams have shown no relevant fluid retention in the legs of lipedema patients. Instead, pain is the primary symptom, not swelling or water retention. Understanding this distinction helps you to give the right guidance to patients so they can avoid unnecessary treatments. 👉 Learn more about lipedema https://lnkd.in/en-8Sxyg International Lipoedema Association website.n.d.; accessed on March 18, 2026

The most commonly reported pain points when wearing compression garments include:* • The garment slides down, pinches, or digs into the skin • The garment makes them feel sweaty • The garment limits mobility or constricts • The garment causes unpleasant odor Choosing a garment design that prioritizes comfort can significantly improve satisfaction and ultimately adherence. 👉Follow along to learn how JOBST solutions help address each of these challenges. *ReD Associates market research, September 2024.
