Kinesio Classic Fan Cuts - Pack of 12
Fan taping is a simple and effective way to reduce swelling, bruising, and even the severe swelling associated with lymphedema. Applying the tails of the fan tape over the affected area lifts the skin microscopically, enhancing lymphatic drainage.

The use of Kinesio Taping is so effective that it has become a standard treatment in lymphedema treatment plans.
