The venous and lymphatic systems are mutually interdependent. Learn how the failure of one affects the other as well as how to identify and treat phlebolymphedema.
Who is this course for?
This course has been designed to meet the needs of lymphedema therapists, physicians and other healthcare professionals who desire to improve their knowledge and competence related to phlebolymphedema.
Course Objectives
- Identify the lymphatic continuum of phlebolymphedema from other types of edema
- Recognize clinical manifestations associated with phlebolymphedema
- Demonstrate proper compression bandaging applications for lower extremity phlebolymphedema
- Distinguish between inelastic and elastic garments used for compression therapy
- Examine how Near Infrared Fluorescence Imaging technology will provide opportunities for non-invasive, real-time assessment of lymphatic contribution
