All patients, regardless of insurance coverage, deserve access to our best-known treatment options. Pneumatic compression is an extremely important tool in treating lymphedema. This pump has tremendous results. When people see results, it improves compliance, therefore stabilizing the disease, and in turn lowering the number of office visits and hospitalizations for complications.

There is a huge need for proper lymphedema care in this patient population. If we can prevent wounds and cellulitis and increase patient mobility we will prevent a significant number of hospitalizations and improve their quality of life. Pneumatic compression is definitely a MUST in the treatment algorithm.

Lymphedema pumps are extremely affective in slowing down the progression of this chronic condition. They should be available to all patients and help close the gap in their care and treatment.

This is so critical for patient with lymphedema and venous issues. Pumps play a vital role in their treatment plan and prevent a constant heal, reoccur, heal, reoccur cycle.

Advanced pneumatic compression devices ( lymphedema pumps) are effective in reducing limb volume and they decrease the rate of cellulitis. They decrease hospital admissions related to cellulitis and wounds. They should be available to all patients with lymphedema.
