Pump Overview

Understanding Pneumatic Compression Pump Options

A lymphedema pump is generally used as one part of a broader treatment plan directed by a qualified healthcare professional. The most appropriate equipment depends on the patient's diagnosis, affected area, clinical history, and treatment goals.

Pneumatic compression pumps use an inflatable sleeve, boot, or garment connected to a pump controller. The garment's chambers inflate and deflate according to a programmed sequence. Depending on the device, pressure may be fixed, sequential, or individually adjustable by chamber.

Advanced Rehab Technologies helps patients, physicians, therapists, and healthcare organizations review available equipment and understand the documentation commonly required by insurance providers.

Pump Types

Lymphedema Pump Categories

The two primary categories shown below differ in how their chambers inflate and how pressure is controlled.

Huntleigh Flowpress segmental pneumatic compression pump

Segmental Lymphedema Pumps

Segmental pumps generally use a multi-chamber sleeve or boot. The chambers inflate in sequence rather than applying pressure through one single chamber. This sequential action is designed to support compression therapy across the treated area.

  • Typically uses three or more inflatable chambers
  • Inflates chambers in a programmed sequence
  • Available in different garment configurations

Examples may include equipment such as the Huntleigh Flowpress and Bio Compression systems, depending on availability and clinical requirements.

Calibrated gradient-pressure pneumatic compression pump

Calibrated Gradient-Pressure Pumps

Calibrated gradient-pressure pumps allow pressure to be adjusted by chamber. The treatment pattern is generally configured with higher pressure farther from the body and progressively lower pressure closer to the torso.

  • Individual chamber pressure adjustment
  • Graduated pressure from distal to proximal areas
  • Greater flexibility for individualized treatment settings

These systems may be considered when a more customized pressure pattern is clinically appropriate, including areas that require special pressure consideration.
