Complex Decongestive Physiotherapy Decreases Capillary Fragility in Lipedema

Lymphology 2008 Dec;41(4):161-6. G Szolnoky , N Nagy, R K Kovács, E Dósa-Rácz, A Szabó, K Bársony, M Balogh, L Kemény

Lipedema is a disease of disproportionate fat deposition featuring frequent hematoma formation and easy bruising. Hematoma development may be caused by altered capillary resistance (CR) or altered capillary fragility (CF).

Lympha Press has been great to work with. My patients have been consistently happy with their pumps. I have seen greatly improved quality of life for patients who are able to walk easier and their wounds have improved with their lymphedema pump.

It is amazing the difference in swelling after our patients start using the lymphedema pumps. Lympha Press is wonderful to work with.
