What is a compression pump?

A compression pump is a medical device designed to improve lymphatic drainage, reduce swelling and improve circulation, particularly in conditions involving the lymphatic and venous systems.  It works be applying intermittent pneumatic pressure to a limb (usually an arm or leg).  The purpose of a compression pump is to promote movement, help manage chronic conditions and prevent complications, like infections.

 

Key Features:

• An inflatable sleeve or boot is worn around the limb that is connected to the pump. 

• Using sequential compression, the pump inflates the garment in segments from the distal end of the limb, towards the top, mimicking natural lymphatic or venous flow.   

• Adjustable pressure settings ensure comfort and effectiveness depending on the patient needs.

• Timed cycles for pulses of compression, followed by rest phases to encourage lymph movement.

• Ready-made and custom sizes available.
