Compression garments can be expensive. Check with an individual vendor about whether your insurance will cover all or part of the cost of compression garments. AOP and Clovers Compression are two companies which we know will accept medical assistance. Sometimes sports stores will have athletic sleeves that can be used as compression garments. Sports bras may be useful for chest lesions. Talk to your vascular anomalies clinic providers about how often to keep your garment on. The vendor may offer guidelines about pressure and style.

UNC Compression Garment Options

There are lymphedema Physical Therapists who can see patients/families to teach them self-care of lymphedema and vascular malformations.

Location: UNCH Comprehensive Cancer Support Program 2893 Farrington Road, Chapel Hill.

Many vascular anomalies clinic members can write orders on our electronic medical record for “PT lymphedema, evaluate and treat”, which will be needed for the PTs to provide their services. The PTs may be able to work with local vendors to get garments paid for by insurance companies, and vascular anomalies members can petition insurance companies with variable success to get these paid for!
