LymphaPod® Treatment System

Treatment for lymphedema and venous insufficiency in the larger patient


LymphaPod® is a sequential pneumatic compression therapy system designed specifically for the larger patient.



Larger patients with lymphedema have special needs. Their lymphedema often appears on the upper thighs, hips, and abdomen, areas which cannot be treated with standard leg garments.  LymphaPod® is a home care system designed to treat large patients with limited mobility. It treats the entire lower body, including legs, hips, and abdomen.

Features:

• Treats the entire lower body, to reduce edema in legs, hips, abdomen and buttocks and increase lymphatic and venous return.

• Special emphasis on the inner thigh, to treat lobules.

• Designed for use by patients with limited mobility (some patients may need assistance).

• One size fits patients from 350 to 700+ lbs.

• 40 overlapping air chambers provide sequential massage, with fully adjustable pressure in 4 - 12 zones.


LymphaPod® can be used only with Lympha Press Optimal®.
