Abstract

Celem pracy jest omówienie przypadku 65 –letniej kobiety z masywnym obrzękiem w rejonie prawego ramienia po radykalnym leczeniu raka piersi. Dzięki zastosowaniu 3 typów nieelastycznej kompresji (wielowarstwowego bandażowania, produktu uciskowego na rzepy oraz płaskodzianego rękawa uciskowego) udało się osiągnąć spektakularne efekty zmniejszenia obrzęku oraz poprawę sprawności kończyny.
