Need Help Choosing a Garment? Ask Our Fitters

Choosing the right garment can be the hardest part of a referral. Between dozens of lines, compression classes, knits and styles, it's easy to second-guess a choice. You don't have to make it alone. Our fitters work with these products every day, and we're happy to help you pick.

How it works

  1. Tell us about the patient. Call 800-883-1549, or fax 800-886-4201 with a short note. Include the diagnosis and affected area, the compression level you have in mind, and anything that affects fit or wear: limb shape, skin, sensitivity, hand strength, lifestyle.

  2. Send measurements if you have them. Use the manufacturer's measurement form for custom garments. For ready-to-wear, ankle, calf and thigh, or wrist, forearm and upper arm, are enough to start.

  3. We send back a recommendation. You'll get one or two garment options with the reasons, and anything to check first, such as circulation or skin.

  4. You decide, and we handle the rest. Once you and the provider agree on the garment, we check benefits, request any missing paperwork, fit the patient and follow up.

What helps us recommend well

  • Lymphedema, lipedema, venous disease, or a mix

  • Pitting, fibrosis, skin folds, ankle cuffing, or toe or finger swelling

  • Any sign of poor circulation, and an ABI if one has been done

  • Latex allergy or sensitive skin

  • Whether the patient can pull on a garment, and whether someone can help

  • What they've worn before and what did or didn't work

  • Preferences: open or closed toe, color, day or night
