What are the benefits of Pneumatic Compression Therapy?
By stimulating the lymphatic and venous systems, stagnant fluid is gently
pushed through the vessels in the limbs. This allows the venous system to
reabsorb the fluids. Limb heaviness is reduced, and the possibilities for
recurrent infections in the limb are also reduced.
Quotes concerning Ulcer Healing, and the Pump:
“ The median rate of ulcer healing in the control group was 2.1% area per
week compared to 19.8% area over week in the intermittent pneumatic
compression group. “
