Pneumatic Compression therapy is fast becoming an essential
component of any comprehensive treatment program for these
edema-related diagnoses.
Lymphedema, venous insufficiency and venous ulcers can be challenging conditions often accompanied by pain, loss of mobility, even physical deformity. Advances in the use of pneumatic compression therapy now provide hope for patients with these maladies.
Recent studies demonstrate that intermittent pneumatic compression, when combined with other appropriate therapies, help relieve the discomfort of edema and improve healing time for venous ulcers. It is easy and convenient to use.
What is pneumatic compression therapy and how does it work?
A non-invasive treatment, pneumatic compression therapy applies sequential gradient pressure to improve circulation and decrease edema in patients with chronic swelling and venous ulcers caused by developmental abnormalities, surgery, radiation, trauma or venous insufficiency.
A pneumatic compression pump inflates and deflates a specially designed sleeve that slides over the leg or arm, thus decreasing limb volume by moving fluids, increasing venous return and decreasing blood capillary filtration.
