Lymphedema Devices and Pressotherapy
Intermittent pneumatic compression systems use inflatable garments with multiple chambers to apply controlled pressure sequences to a limb or body region. These systems may be used within professional lymphedema-management and compression-therapy workflows when clinically appropriate.
How do multi-chamber garments work?
The control unit inflates garment chambers according to a programmed sequence. Device design can differ in chamber count, pressure adjustment, timing, treatment modes and garment options.
What should clinics compare?
- Number and arrangement of chambers
- Pressure range and adjustment precision
- Garment sizes and body-region options
- Treatment modes and timing controls
- Portability and battery options where applicable
- Cleaning and hygiene requirements
- Technical service and replacement-garment availability
Compression therapy is not appropriate for every patient. Clinical assessment, contraindications and the broader lymphedema-management plan should be reviewed by qualified healthcare professionals.
