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.

Evaluation of sequential intermittent pneumatic compression for filarial lymphedema

Natl Med J India. 2002 Jul-Aug;15(4):192-4. Manjula Y, Kate V, Ananthakrishnan N.

Lympha Press® treatment effectively reduced severe lymphedema caused by lymphatic filariasis, and significantly reduced the incidence of adenolymphangitis in these patients. The effect was not maintained after treatment was discontinued, indicating the need for ongoing therapy.

Nicos Labropoulos, PhD; William C. Watson, BS; M. Ashraf Mansour, MD; Steven S. Kang, MD; Fred N. Littooy, MD; William H. Baker, MD

This study investigates the immediate effects of intermittent pneumatic foot and calf compression on popliteal artery blood flow in symptom-free volunteers and to determine the reproducibility of color flow duplex imaging in the popliteal artery.

A randomized study comparing manual lymph drainage with sequential pneumatic compression for treatment of postoperative arm lymphedema

K. Johansson, E. Lie, C. Ekdahl, J. Lindfelt. Department of Physical Therapy and Department of Surgery, University Hospital, Lund, Sweden., (1998) Lymphology, 31, 56-64.

This randomized trial compared Lympha Press® to MLD performed in-clinic. Lympha Press® and MLD were equally effective at reducing swelling. (Study funded by research grants from the Cancer Foundation of Sweden).

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.
