How Do Lymphedema Pumps Help Treat Lymphedema?

Lymphedema is a chronic condition that begins with mild swelling and progresses to severe swelling, skin changes, infections, and irreversible complications. The gold standard of lymphedema treatment is a combination of manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) and a compression machine for lymphedema. MLD is typically performed by a specially-trained lymphedema therapist in a medical environment.

However, leg compression can be done at home and is quite effective. It reduces swelling and encourages the movement of lymph fluids on a daily basis. Lymphedema pumps for home use are intended to be an extension of your physician’s care, allowing to experience consistent long-term treatment in the comfort of your home. Pumps such as a lymphedema pump for legs and arms not only relieves your existing condition but prevents it from becoming worse.
