Key Benefits
- “Pneumatic Compression pumps have been used in lymphedema
treatment for over 30 years.... I believe that compression pumps play an
important role in the
treatment of lymphedema. It can be especially important for the elderly
patients who have significant problems with putting on Compression garments
and /or bandaging. Pneumatic compression pumps are valuable tools in
maintence therapy of lymphedema”
Andrzej Szuba M.D., PhD, Stanford Lymphedema Center, Stanford
University
- The treatment of Lymphedema with sequential external pressure, (Lymphedema
Compression Pump) and compression stockings is associated with long-term
maintenance of reduced limb girth in 90% of patients “
(J Vasc. Surg. 1992; 16’555-64.)
- From the most recent study of compression therapy,
“In Group I, (Decongestive Lymphatic Therapy ) the 11 patients achieved 26%
acute arm reduction; in Group II, (DLT together with the Pump) the 12
patients achieved a mean volume reduction of 45.3% (p, <0.05). There were no
complications attributable to either DLT or IPC.
