Adjustable Compression Wrap
The material will be delivered, adapted, and oriented for the daily use of the adjustable compression wrap (Ready Wrap®). The wrap allows for easy use because it is the pre-molded system in inelastic material with self-adjusting compressible components according to the size and shape of the upper limb. Due to its compression properties, it can be used as a therapy to control lymphedema. The material composition is: 61% Nylon, 33% Polyurethane, 6% Elastane (Spandex)). The institutional protocol for the control of the lymphedema phase will be respected, in which the orthosis is used at home for the longest period possible, with the only removal for bathing and sleeping; in addition, skincare and therapeutic exercises for the upper limbs should be performed daily.

Evaluation, skincare, compression bandaging, and guidance on therapeutic exercises for upper limbs. The material used for binding is tubular mesh, foam, elastic compression bandage. Therapy will be followed according to the institutional protocol for the lymphedema reduction phase, in which it will be reassessed twice a week for 30 days.
