Nighttime Lymphedema Garments
One of the most comfortable and effective ways to manage your lymphedema at night is with a quality compression foam sleeve. Compression garments with foam chips are nighttime garments that provide a gentle lymphatic massage. The foam pressed into the affected area creates tissue stretch and pressure differentials.
A nighttime sleeve provides a gentler compression level in comparison to daytime garments, while also continuing to squeeze lymph out of affected tissues. This allows for more comfortable relaxation and prevents the limbs from swelling and reaccumulating fluid throughout your sleep.
It is meant for patients who experience gradual “refilling” of affected areas during sleeping hours. The use of compression at night can help maintain what you’ve achieved during the day.

Lymphedema Treatment Act Coverage
The Lymphedema Treatment Act includes new coverage for night care garments—specifically, 2 nighttime garments every 24 months (or 2 garments every two years).
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has introduced 4 new HCPCS codes in the night care category for the treatment of lymphedema, recognizing the importance of full-time care—not just during the day.
