What is Advanced Pneumatic Compression Therapy for Lymphedema, Lipedema, and Chronic Venous Disease?

Lympha Press® Systems are FDA- and CE - cleared pneumatic compression devices designed to support lymphatic and venous fluid movement, reduce swelling, and improve quality of life for people living with chronic edema-related conditions. Used in both clinical and home settings for over 30 years, Lympha Press is trusted by healthcare providers and patients worldwide.

Lympha Press® is a pneumatic compression therapy system that uses programmable, multi-chamber garments to apply sequential pressure to the limbs or trunk. The system is designed to: • Support lymphatic drainage • Assist venous blood flow • Reduce fluid accumulation • Help manage symptoms associated with lymphatic and venous disorders Treatment protocols can be tailored based on diagnosis, anatomy, and clinical goals.

Lympha Press systems are used as part of comprehensive care plans for conditions involving impaired lymphatic or venous flow, including:

• Lymphedema (primary and secondary)
• Lipedema
• Chronic venous disease and venous insufficiency
• Post-surgical and post-traumatic edema
• Oncology-related swelling following cancer treatment

1. The patient wears a specialized multi-chamber compression garment

2. The garment connects to the Lympha Press device

3. The system delivers controlled, sequential pressure

4. Pressure patterns are designed to support physiological fluid movement

5. Therapy is performed in a clinical setting or at home, as prescribed

• Air fills and releases from garment chambers in a programmed sequence
• Pressure is applied externally and intermittently rather than continuously
• This pressure supports movement of fluid from peripheral tissues toward central drainage pathways

Clinical literature suggests that intermittent external compression may help:

• Reduce fluid accumulation in affected tissues
• Support lymphatic and venous fluid return
• Improve patient comfort and limb mobility

Lympha Press systems are widely used in the management of lymphedema resulting from cancer surgery or radiation therapy, including breast, gynecologic, prostate, melanoma, and head and neck cancers.

For oncology patients, pneumatic compression therapy may help:

• Support lymphatic flow when lymph nodes have been removed or damaged

• Reduce limb or truncal swelling

• Complement manual lymphatic drainage, compression garments, exercise, and skin care

Lympha Press systems are often prescribed for long-term home management to support consistent therapy outside the clinic.

Lipedema is a chronic condition characterized by abnormal fat distribution, pain, tenderness, and swelling—most commonly affecting the legs and sometimes the arms.

Lympha Press systems are used to support symptom management in lipedema by:

• Assisting lymphatic and venous fluid movement

• Helping reduce secondary swelling (lipolymphedema)

• Supporting comfort and limb mobility

• Complementing conservative lipedema care plans

Treatment can be customized to address limb shape, tissue sensitivity, and patient tolerance.

Chronic venous disease occurs when veins have difficulty returning blood from the limbs back to the heart, leading to swelling, heaviness, skin changes, and discomfort.

Lympha Press systems support venous and lymphatic circulation by:

• Applying sequential compression to encourage upward fluid movement

• Helping reduce lower-extremity edema

• Supporting symptom relief alongside compression stockings and medical management

These systems are often incorporated into long-term care strategies for patients with persistent venous-related swelling.

Treatment parameters vary and are determined by a clinician based on individual needs.

Common variables include:

• Pressure range (low to moderate, condition-dependent)

• Session duration

• Frequency of use

• Garment type and anatomical coverage

• Chamber sequence and cycle timing

Typical care settings:

• Clinics and rehabilitation centers

• Home use with prescription or clinician guidance

• Long-term management programs

Pneumatic compression therapy is often combined with:

• Compression garments

• Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD)

• Exercise and mobility programs

• Skin care and infection prevention

• Programmable treatment options tailored to individual conditions
• Short cycle time for comfortable, efficient therapy
• Overlapping chambers for even, precise pressure application without gaps
• Multi-chamber garments designed to support natural lymphatic and venous flow
• Direct axilla (armpit) compression for breast cancer related lymphedema
• Pants with genital and truncal compression for lower extremity lymphedema with truncal involvement
• Systems suitable for both clinic and home use
• Decades of clinical use, published clinical studies, and healthcare provider trust   

Lympha Press systems are prescribed by healthcare providers and used as part of comprehensive treatment plans that may include:

• Compression garments
• Manual lymphatic drainage
• Exercise and movement therapy
• Skin care and lifestyle management

Lympha Press devices are FDA and CE-cleared for the treatment of lymphedema and related conditions.
