Compression Pumps Treatment of lymphedema and Venous Ulcers

Compression pumps are proposed as a treatment for patients with lymphedema who have failed conservative measures. They are also proposed to supplement standard care for patients with venous ulcers. A variety of pumps are available; they can be single chamber (nonsegmented) or multichamber (segmented) and have varying designs and complexity. Non-pneumatic, programmable, wearable devices, are also available.
