Clinical Studies

For over forty years, Lympha Press dynamic compression therapy systems have helped patients all over the world deal with lymphedema, chronic venous insufficiency, wounds, and lipedema. We’re the number one global brand in pneumatic compression for many reasons, including proven clinical evidence in over thirty peer-reviewed publications.

Lymphedema treatment decreases pain intensity in lipedema

G. Szolnoky, E. Varga, M. Varga, M. Tuczai, E. Dósa-Rácz, L. Kemény. (2011) Lymphology, Dec;44(4), 178-82.

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.
