What We Can Provide

We are here at every stage of treatment starting from pre-op and for the rest of your patients’ lives.

Pre-Operative Stage.  We provide post-operative camisoles and compression bras that aid in recovery.

Post-Operative Stage.  We provide a bridge between surgery and full healing that keeps patients comfortable and addresses the time before full prosthesis is appropriate.

For the Rest of Her Life.  We provide partial and full prosthetics (off the shelf and custom with a 3D body scan), bras, camisoles, swim forms and pocketed swimwear, and other pocketed apparel such as sports bras and athleisure wear.  It’s also important to note that many of these items are covered by insurance even for lumpectomy patients, and patients who are undergoing reconstruction.

Our mission is to connect as an important resource for patients, you as their medical providers, and their families along the entire journey from diagnosis, through treatment, and for a lifetime of remission and control of their conditions.

Flat Knit Versus Circular Knit

You may be wondering what different types of garments are available and even why there are different types.  Compression garments are knitted using two different methods of manufacturing.

Circular Knit Garments.  Seamless and not as dense and stiff as flat knit.  They come in standard sizes (off-the-shelf) or can be custom made.  The elasticity of the circular knit material is great for early to mild stages of lymphedema, when swelling is moderate.  A circular knit garment is often used for someone with a normal limb shape who has poor circulation or lymphedema. Other features include:

• • Comfort
  • Mild to Moderate Containment
  • Maximum Aesthetics – available in a variety of fabrics, colors and prints
  • Not Made with Natural Rubber (Latex Free)

Flat Knit Garments.  Have a seam and offer excellent therapeutic results.  Only available as custom-made, they can accommodate a variety of shapes and sizes.  The fabric is stiffer and certain fabrics have a micro massage weave, which is preferred for areas with severe swelling.  Combined with an optimal level of compression, flat knit garments offer the maximum containment in an elastic compression garment. Other features include:

• • Improved Aesthetics – now available in a variety of colors
  • Density of the Knit Remains Consistent Throughout the Garment (even at areas of larger circumferences, which is important for managing swelling)
  • A Stiffer Compression Garment Will Better Maintain the Gap at the Skin Folds and is Less Likely to Cut into the Skin
  • Durabity for Extreme Wear and Use
  • Not Made with Natural Rubber (Latex Free)
