Trial run
Review by Keith B. on 18 May 2022 review stating Trial run I am trying this product on recommendation from several nurse friends who use it. So far, I have been pleased with the result. For me, it is replacing other wraps for lymphedema, which I may eventually replace, but there may be a continuing place for this product in my treatment. I am well pleased.
