Early detection of cancer related lymphoedema results in an improved quality of life and decreased physical and financial burden.

The SOZO machine is able to calculate a L-dex score (measurement of fluid changes in the limbs) via a 30 second non-invasive test.

In a recent worldwide clinical trial, it was found that with early detection and intervention, 92% of patients did not progress to chronic lymphoedema.

When should you have a SOZO reading?

• Before any planned cancer surgery to establish a baseline reading

• Post-operatively

• Every 3 months for the 2 years following surgery to detect any early changes in your fluid levels

SOZO is available at bcalm physiotherapy and is included as part of every treatment plan.
