Built for real life.Yours.

When Lympha Press therapy systems were created, we had you in mind.

It’s difficult to receive a diagnosis for a chronic condition that needs regular management. Our goal is to ease that burden with effective at-home therapy that is both easy to use and comfortable, too.

No fumbling with hoses or straps. No need to ask for help to put garments on. No confusing buttons. And when that drink spills? Our garments wipe clean, easily.

Our patients say two things consistently:

“I wish I knew about Lympha Press years ago!”“My Lympha Press time is ‘me’ time. I just relax and enjoy.”

Nothing makes our team happier than to hear how much better life is for our patients after they start using Lympha Press.

Since using the Lympha Press, my legs are less painful and less swollen, and surprisingly, I am sleeping much better! Your whole team was fantastic.

The pump has helped me tremendously. My legs are no longer "weeping" fluid through my skin. I am able to wear my normal shoes again and have less knee joint pain. Thank you!

This works great. It's not hard to put on and easy to take off; I wish I knew about this therapy a long time ago. It's the best equipment to have for fluid in your legs.

Delivery

Getting started is easy, too.

Because Lympha Press is a medical device, a doctor’s order is required. Once you connect with a local Compression Therapy Consultant, they will work with your doctor or therapist to determine the Lympha Press therapy system to give you optimal results.

We know how important coverage is to our patients. Lympha Press is in network with many insurances and our team of experts is skilled at working with medical offices to obtain documentation. We also have interest-free payment options to cover out-of-pocket costs.

My doctor ordered a Lympha Press! Now what happens?

Congratulations! You’ll be informed every step of the way until your Lympha Press is delivered.

You’ll have the option of in-person delivery or a remote set-up. In either case, you’ll be shown how easy it is to use your Lympha Press and be empowered to make it a part of your daily regimen.

Our friendly and professional team is delighted to answer any questions you may have.

And even after you begin using your Lympha Press, we’re here for you. We’re happy to offer you support with our monthly Patient Roundtables to educate and inspire.

Frequently Asked Questions

Using Your Lympha Press®

People with lymphedema need to compensate for an impaired lymphatic system that does not properly move lymph fluid. This accumulation of excess fluid leads to swelling called “edema.” This swelling is more than just water. It can contain cell waste, bacteria, viruses, and even cancer. Uncontrolled or stagnant edema that is not regularly decongested causes chronic inflammation that leads to the buildup of collagen fibers, causing hardening of the tissue. This is called lymphostatic fibrosis.
Lympha Press uses a garment with air-filled “chambers” to apply a special compression and release sequence to the area being treated. The air chambers are inflated to a precise pressure. They also deflate in a sequence that stimulates the lymphatic capillaries to absorb lymph fluid. The compression and release sequence also stimulates the lymph vessels to propel the fluid out of the area, decongesting it of stagnant lymph fluid. Lymph nodes process the lymph fluid so that it can safely leave the body as urine.
Yes. Remove your compression garments and use your Lympha Press over loose, comfortable clothing. You can use your Lympha Press in the morning before putting on stockings, or in the evening after removing them. Lympha Press should not be used over bare skin. Socks and sweatpants for legs or a long-sleeved T-shirt for arms work well as a liner.
Your therapist may ask you to stimulate the lymph nodes in the neck, armpits, and groin before and after a Lympha Press treatment using self-manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) techniques. It is always important to consult with a qualified lymphedema therapist to learn any manual techniques for your lymphedema. Deep diaphragmatic breathing during the treatment is also very helpful to facilitate lymphatic function.

About Lympha Press

Because Lympha Press therapy systems are medical devices, a doctor’s order is first needed. Contact us to be connected to your local representative.

Use Lympha Press according to your licensed medical practitioner’s prescription. Treatment time and frequency is usually one or two hour-long sessions per day for lymphedema, venous insufficiency, or lipedema. You may find it helpful to start with short treatments first and slowly increase to the fully prescribed time.

Follow your medical practitioner’s instructions. When your swelling reduces, you may need to reduce the pressure setting. Contact your practitioner before making changes to your treatment program.
Lying down comfortably in bed is the best position for stimulating lymph flow. However, many patients find it more enjoyable to perform treatment sitting on a couch or recliner, with legs elevated (or for arms, with arm supported).
The garments can be easily cleaned by wiping the surface with a mild detergent solution and then with plain water. They can also be cleaned using alcohol wipes or sponged with 70 percent alcohol. If cleaning with alcohol, work in a well-ventilated area and use gloves. Allow to dry before using.
Wear non-binding comfortable clothing without buttons or zippers. Sweatpants and socks for legs, and long-sleeved shirt for arms are good choices. To prevent irritation and perspiration, do not wear Lympha Press garments directly over bare skin.
Follow the troubleshooting guide in the user manual. Be sure to check that the power cord is inserted securely into the back of the pump and that all hoses are properly seated and connected. If the problem continues, call the phone number on your Lympha Press for assistance.
Some Lympha Press models are multi-voltage and can be used in other countries with an adaptor plug. Other models may require a voltage converter to convert the electricity from the wall socket to the required voltage. Check your user manual or contact Lympha Press for voltage requirements and limitations.
