This excellent handbook, now in its third edition, has been written specifically for lymphoedema patients and those at risk of developing lymphoedema.

It gives important information about the lymphatic system, the condition of lymphoedema, its treatment and helpful advice about how to live, travel and sleep with the condition. It also provides particular advice to patients with arm and leg lymphoedema, patient exercise routines and an insight into the psychological aspects of the condition.

Lymphatic Territories Charts

A set of four laminated colour charts each measuring 410mm x 290mm are also available from the Clinic. There are two of upper limbs and two of lower limbs, anterior and posterior views. Each chart shows the lymphatic territories and watersheds as designated by Professor Kubik.
