A competitor & predecessor to Solaris, JoViPak also makes nighttime compression garments & all products are made in the U.S.A. However, one unique feature is they provide post-operative compression, too.
Founded in 2000 by Joann Rovig, a cancer survivor, JoViPak has an inspirational beginning. Joann had just finished training to become a massage therapist when she learned she had cancer & would likely develop lymphedema as a result of treatment. Recognizing there were not many lymphedema therapists in the United States & none in the northwest, she decided to educate herself by going to the Vodder School in Austria. After opening a clinic to treat others, she found her patients were overwhelmed with self-bandaging. She came up with a chipped foam sleeve to reduce the steps in bandaging & JoViPak was born.
JoViPak products include sleeves, liners & post-operative chest compression & are divided into areas of the body as follows:
UPPER BODY
Armsleeves
Glove
Head & Neck
Torso/Chest
LOWER BODY
Leg & foot liners & compression including a rehab line (with Velcro) for acute injuries & easier donning
Genital pads & all-purpose pads to improve lymph flow as well as to break down fibrosis
