Brief Answer: Correct fitting more important than brands Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for your question. a sequential compression stocking I garment is a good solution to your problem of lymphoedema. Different brand makes are not so important however it is important that you are measured properly and that the correct size garment and elasticity/compression is ordered for you so that it helps and you can tolerate it. Most reputable suppliers of such garments will have appropriate training in this regard and should offer some sort of money back guarantee. I hope this helps answer your question. Best wishes
