Background/Objectives: This study evaluated adherence to compression garments, their role in edema stabilization, and factors influencing patient compliance. Materials and Methods: This observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study evaluated adherence to compression garments in 92 patients with lymphedema treated at the University Hospital of Gran Canaria Dr. Negrín. In addition, sociodemographic, clinical, and design-related factors influencing adherence were analyzed. The evaluation was conducted via telephone questionnaires and a review of medical records. Results: The study revealed low adherence to compression garments in patients with lymphedema. Adherence was related to the garments' etiology, severity, and perceived comfort. Conclusions: The findings highlight the need to improve education strategies and personalize treatment recommendations to enhance adherence.
