Hatzy at work

Right side mastectomy. Oedematous arm

 

Re-routing the flow of lymph from the affected side to the unaffected (healthy) side

'Windscreen wiper' movement.

 

Trial with self-adhesive molehaft rather than using molelast bandages.

 

Quite a neat result (as opposed to my molelast bandaging - at that time)

 

 Foam to protect the hand, arm paded with cellona soft 10 & 12cm, cellona

Omitted foam padding on whole arm, due to high temperatures in Cyprus.

 

Very firm bandaging of hand to achieve the 'cone' effect.

Tight distally and slowly decreasing in pressure to proximal.

 

Progressing up the arm with the 3rd bandage.

 

Tension on bandage as it's applied.

 

Finished !
