Hi Rebec - can you tell us what your product is called?

Morning Is it a Farrow wrap? xgins

Hi yes, I have a farrow wrap which I use on my leg. I wear compression as much as possible but sometimes in these temperatures, I just can't cope with it. especially when on holiday. I use the farrow wrap at night instead and have found it really useful - it is basically a Velcro wrap in three pieces that has been made to measure for my leg - It's not practical to move around lots in it and quite bulky - but absolutely great in the evenings when resting. Let me know if you have any specific questions

Hi Rebec - Farrow Wrap is available in the UK on prescription.

I'm a bit perplexed that your lymphoedema nurse doesn't know anything about it. She could contact Haddenham Healthcare and one of the reps would be able to give her details.

The DVD that I bought shows only how to care of the lymphoedema in the arm while wearing a sleeve. I am lucky to have received, again from the States, another DVD which shows in great detail how to do MLD without wearing any sleeve. It has also a presentation on self-bandaging. I wonder if the Farrow Wrap is easier to apply than the type if bandages I have.

Hi Rebec,

Before you use farrow wraps you need to have triple bandaging on your legs to bring down the swelling - I had this for 5 months constantly they were changed every severn days. Now my legs are down I have progressed to the farrow wraps and you wear them every day taking them off at night to bath/ shower and cream your legs. I didnot wear the ankle part yesterday and in that one day my ankle and top of foot grew back enormously. So I have had my farrow on over night to bring them back in line. It did show me how much pain is alleviated by wearing them Hope this helps

Hi ,I am using ''Farrow Wraps'' for my swollen legs and feet .These have been given to me by the hospital i am attending and i find them very effective in keeping the swelling down .I was measured for them at the hospital and within a week they were delivered to my home .There are lots of you tube videos on how to wrap your limbs with ''Farrow Wraps''.They are easier than bandaging .

I use juxtafit wrap rather than a sleeve and I have found it very good at maintaining shape although it can be difficult to maintain even pressure

Thank you very much. It's very informative. I'm trying to decide when to use all those bandages sent by a lovely lady from the States. I'm worried that I'll start bandaging my hand and I'll soon stop doing it because I might do it with too much tension. Never seen being done as I think that at least in the UK, people use the elasticated sleeves instead if these bandages.

I am in the United States and have lower leg lymphedema in both legs. Wraps have been a means to getting the swelling down enough to use ReadyWraps which are velcro shut wraps I put on and off myself. I find the wrapping either way to be pain relieving and comforting. Wrapping at a clinic enable the removal of 30 lbs of fluid from my legs and restored my ability to walk better.
