Wavetec Compression Therapy was Applied to Two Patients with Lower Limb Lymphedema
Principal Investigator: Dr. Joel Arudchelvam, Transplant surgeon, University of Colombo, Sri Lanka
Outcomes:
- Use of Calf Compression Device more than two hours a day could reduce swelling in oedema patients based on observations from two case studies
- Reduction of leg circumference indicates the fluid is pushed up and this shows the effectiveness of the Calf Compression Device
