As a new CLT, I have my first patient with lymphedema of the breast. My plan is to use medium stretch bandages after MLD. I would appreciate some guidance in how to incorporate gray foam into the wrap. Thanks in advance.

Patricia CabralI am a recent CLT graduate and have just started seeing pts. One of my pts has lymphedema in her left breast (no signs/symptoms in her UE's). Is there a specific way to measure a breast or do you recommend a standard bust measurement? Thank you !

I usually take 3 measurments: one below the breasts around the rib cage, one around the nipple line and one above the breasts. There is usually swelling around the breast also. Good luck!
