Double Duty for Edema and Fibrosis Pad

The Thora-Thigh Swell Spot (SP-11) (50 cm x 22 cm) was originally designed as a chest and back application and was only made as a Custom Swell Spot, which made it more expensive. However, it soon gained popularity as a leg application. When centered at the groin level with the two ends positioned to cover the medial thigh it works wonders against fibrosis in the thigh. As it gained popularity, Solaris took it out of the Custom Swell Spot category, moved it into regular production and lowered the price. However, don’t overlook the potential of this versatile Swell Spot! Did I mention that it was originally designed for chest wall use? With the scoop positioned in the armpit the wings extend towards the midline at the breastbone and around the back towards the spine. We have had patients find it to be a comfortable chest and breast application, whether they have had a lumpectomy or a mastectomy. Nothing else addresses lateral trunk edema below the axilla like this versatile Swell Spot. When held in place with a stretch shirt or a sports bra, it provides relief and helps to get rid of that “golfball under my armpit” sensation.  Patients seem to like the wide coverage area which gives this Swell Spot an unobtrusive feel as it covers a large enough area to rest easily against the body. And, of course, like all Swell Spots, it has sewn channeling to guide lymphatic fluid away from congested areas. The broad coverage, the chip foam technology and the correct channeling all work together to make this Swell Spot particularly great.
