Palmar

It's ideal for use on the palm of your hands. The shape also makes it a good choice for the dorsum. The Swell Spot helps reduce the appearance of scars from a lumpectomy when used in a bra. Easily machine wash and dry as needed. Use this Palmer Swell Spot to evenly distribute pressure and avoid any painful hotspots. It can also help reduce swelling as part of edema management. Breathable, wicking fabric helps reduce heat.

Oval

Use in multiple places including inside hand splints or along the ulnar aspect of the forearm. Place near the groin or in other areas. The long 8 cm x 19 cm oval is simple and easy to use in a variety of places to help manage your edema.
Swell Spots are used with bandaging or compression garments. The foam chips nestle into tissue which stretches it. This helps open lymphatic gaps and encourages the movement of fluid. The Spot aids in swelling reduction and the breakup of fibrosis.
Microfiber fabric gently grips the skin to enhance lymphatic gap opening. The soft, breathable fabric stays in place throughout the compression process. Your Swell Spot can be put in with a regular load of laundry and machine dried.
