Compression Bras/
Bandages

Particularly well suited after reconstructive surgery with own tissue or with implants

What is a compression bra?

A compression bra promotes wound healing after breast surgery and is designed specifically for shaping the tissue correctly and symmetrically. The length of time for wearing the compression bra is decided by the attending physician. For breasts to be positioned correctly after reconstructive surgery with own tissue or implants, a compression bra must exert some pressure, but must not fit too tightly, as it would impact on the scars and cause pain.

What are the benefits of a compression bra?

Implant stabilisation
This specialist bra uses pressure to prevent implants from slipping out of place after breast surgery or a breast augmentation to ensure that the desired results are achieved. It is therefore important to wear a compression bra, as one breast could otherwise be lower than the other or be deformed. The Stuttgart girdle ensures that the implants are fixed in their intended position.
Healing support
The affected tissue will safely grow back together under the gentle pressure of the compression bra, while nerve fibres under a lot less stress and scar formation is minimised. Since the bra or bandage offers great support and helps shape the breasts correctly, the risk of inflammation and stretch damage is reduced.
Perfectly shaped breast
Compression helps the breast tissue to reshape and the desired contours remain intact

How about not wearing a compression bra at all?

For women, who wear a bra without compression (e.g. a sports bra instead), the healing process after breast surgery can take a lot longer. The breasts can become asymmetrical, because the implants shift. A sports bra cannot be held in place by a Stuttgart girdle.

Compression girdle

A compression bodice will stabilise and protect the tissue

What is a compression girdle?

A compression girdle is made of supportive materials, and are worn after a surgical procedure like liposuction. The compression garment envelops the site of the operation with gentle pressure and offers safe support and protection for the tissue. Depending on the type of wound healing, compression garments should be worn continuously after the surgery, which is why it is advisable to have a second, identical garment for switching. The length of time for wearing the compression bra is decided by the attending physician. An exact fit of the garment is essential, as is the quality of the materials from which it is made. Only then will they offer gentle comfort and sufficient freedom of movement for the wearer.

What are the benefits of a compression girdle?

A compression girdle will ensure that the desired post-surgery result remains and that there are no problems during the healing process.

Reduces swelling and pain
Accelerates wound healing and reduces the formation of scar tissue
Tissue stabilisation and protection
Reduces the risk of infection

Compression girdles should be fitted by medical personnel and never be adjusted by the wearer, as this might negatively impact on results and the healing process. Always consult your physician in case of discomfort.

Lymph O Fit Lymphatic Relief Products

For lymphatic diseases
For lymphatic treatments, Anita has developed a specialist material with a 3D dot texture on the inside. This texture has a massaging and draining effect on the subcutis and smaller lymphatic vessels. This activates and improves lymphatic drainage. It additionally promotes scar regression. Good moisture wicking and breathability ensure comfort and pleasant conditions for the skin. This material is used for the reduction of light lymph oedema, haematoma and fibrosis.

After plastic surgery
A more rigid material was developed for use after plastic surgery, which also features the raised dots on the interior. This texture is slightly less pronounced, but has a similar massage effect on the skin. It promotes lymphatic drainage and the healing process. The fabric is a lot stiffer, has less stretch and therefore offers a higher compression rate. The material is suitable for use after plastic surgery like liposuction and lifts.

Lymph O Fit – Chest

Lymphatic relief bandage after breast surgery

What is a lymphatic relief bandage for the chest area?

Lymphatic relief bandages are specially designed compression girdles for lymphatic diseases.

Lymph oedema can appear as a result of breast cancer surgery (BET, radiation oedema, mastectomy). In cases of lymph oedema, the flow of lymph through the lymphatic system has been disrupted and results in swelling.

What are the benefits of a lymphatic relief bandage?

Prevention of haematoma formation
Reduced seroma production
Reduced formation of scar tissue
Improved healing process of the tissue
Promotion of surgical results
Lymph oedema prevention or treatment

What are the benefits of wearing a lymphatic relief bandage?

The dot structure of the lymphatic relief bandage achieves a gentle massage and drainage effect of the dermis and smaller lymph vessels.

An untreated lymph oedema will not disappear. Instead, the symptoms will only worsen. This will result in a need for permanent therapy and lymphatic relief. The Lymph O Fit products by Anita care support a rapid regression of post-operative oedema and a better manageability of chronic lymphatic drainage problems.

Study on post-surgery compression bandages

Basic parameters of the study

By the Spanish Association for Senology and Breast Disease

Structure:
• Experimental, randomised, analytical, multicentric longitudinal study

Participants:
• Patients with unilateral conservative-surgical breast cancer treatment (99 patients per group)

Objectives:
• Main objective: Evaluation of the impact of using a compression breast bandage on the appearance of complications in operated patients

• Secondary objective: Evaluation of the impact of using a compression breast bandage on the quality of life, post-surgical pain levels of patients, the comfort level, aesthetic satisfaction, effectiveness (user-friendliness) and patient care management

General complications overall

The total percentage of general complications in the bandages group compared to the bindings group is relatively low at all times.

Accompanying diagram for the study on the post-surgery compression bandage "Valencia"

Pain intensity

The bandages group reports lower pain intensity than the bindings group
throughout the observed timespan with an equalisation after 30 days.

Skin lesions

The appearance of skin lesions in the bandage group (0-2%) is at all times extremely low in comparison with the binding group (35-12%).

Aesthetic satisfaction

The overall well-being of patients with a bandage (dark green) is much higher than in patients with bindings (dark grey).

Benefits of using a bandage

Appropriate stabilisation and immobilisation of the breast, healing process is promoted, gentle compression of the scar area, no constriction and no skin irritation thanks to the hypoallergenic fabric and its individual adjustability and easy handling.

Study findings

The use of Anita bandages for controlled compression in post-operative care following conservative breast cancer surgery will reduce post-surgical complications from 32 to 15% and surpasses the traditional compression binding in terms of efficacy, safety and comfort.
