Bio Compression Systems

When lymphedema is diagnosed promptly and treatment begun early, patients enjoy productive lives, with few complications. When lymphedema remains undiagnosed or untreated, the outcome is often painful and costly.

Sequential Circulators are designed to relieve swelling from any extremity by progressivley moving fluid in a distal to proximal direction.

Sequential Circulators mimic the lymphatic system. The "milking" effect promotes lymphatic flow by moving fluid in the proper physiological direction. Two extremities can be treated simultaneously.

Wound Healing and Gradient Pressure

Venous Insufficiency

Using Intermittent Or Gradient Sequential Compression To Reduce Edema

Conventional methods of treating primary and secondary edema, e.g. rest, elevation, diuretics, antibiotics, and sodium-free diet, usually fail to control this progressively debilitating condition. It is imperative that the clinician first recognize and correct the underlying pathological factors causing the edema with a planned program of intermittent hydrostatic pressure.  With the KCI Extremity Pump, fluid dynamics are held in balance because excess intercellular fluid is "pumped" back into the venous capillary system and lymphatic vessels.

A KCI Extremity Pump is a lightweight pneumatic pump designed to provide intermittent or gradient sequential pressures depending on severity and underlying pathology. The deflation phase of the compression cycle allows lymphatic and venous vessels to fill with fluid. External counterpressure during the inflation phase helps to accelerate interstitial fluid movement in both the lymphatic and venous systems.

Common Indications For Using The Jobst Extremity Pump:

peripheral edema

lymphedema (postmastectomy, congenital)

venous stasis ulcers

stump reduction

hand edema

Apply Comprilan low-stretch compression bandage between pumping sessions to maintain the results achieved with the Jobst Extremity Pump Systems. Once edema is reduced,Custom or ready-to-wear supports are indicated to help prevent recurrences.
