Lymphedema Pump

What is a Lymphedema Pump:

A lymphedema pump, also known as a pneumatic compression device or pneumatic pump, is a medical device that uses compressed air to apply pressure to the affected limb. The pressure helps to stimulate the lymphatic system and move excess fluid out of the limb, reducing swelling and discomfort.

Lymphedema pumps can be used for both upper and lower limb lymphedema, and can also be used to treat other medical conditions such as venous insufficiency and deep vein thrombosis.

Uses of Lymphedema Pump:

1. Reduce Swelling: The pump reduces swelling in the affected limb by moving stagnant lymph fluid out of the tissues.

2. Improve Lymphatic Drainage: The pump helps the lymphatic system drain excess fluid more effectively. Reducing fluid buildup will control swelling.

3. Relieve Symptoms: The pump helps relieve the tightness and heaviness of lymphedema and reduces discomfort.

4. Prevent Infections: Keeping fluid moving helps to reduce the risk of infections, such as cellulitis. Stagnant fluid and poor circulation combined can both contribute to infection.

5. Assist with Post-Surgical Recovery: Many surgeons will require lymphedema pumps after surgeries, such as lymph node removal or cancer surgeries. Lymphedema pumps can help reduce swelling and improve healing.

Features of Lymphedema Pump:

1. Sequential Compression Technology

A Lymphedema Pump utilizes advanced sequential compression to stimulate lymph flow back into the circulatory system from the extremities to alleviate swelling and discomfort.

2. Adjustable Pressure Settings

The pressure settings associated with the Lymphedema Pump can be modified during therapy to meet the comfort level and medical needs of the patient, allowing for the safest and most effective therapy.

3. Multi-Chamber Design

Most Lymphedema Pumps will include multi-chamber sleeves (anywhere between 4 and 12 chambers) which provides a more specific and thorough compression cycle.

4. User-Friendly Interface

A high-quality Lymphedema Pump will have a simple and easy-to-use control panel, so patients can operate it at home without the supervision of a healthcare professional.

5. Quiet Operation

The Lymphedema Pump was designed with comfort and convenience in mind. It operates silently and allows you to relax without any distracting sounds.

Parts of a Lymphedema Pump:

Control Unit:

The control unit is the main component of the lymphedema pump. The control unit contains the motor and the controls that measure pressure, timing, and cycles of inflation and deflation. Users, or those treating them, can change the settings on the control unit, customizing the treatment as needed.

Air Compressor:

The air compressor generates air pressure, inflating the sleeve or garment, and is a part of the control unit. The lymphedema pump creates consistent, gentle pressure necessary for lymphatic drainage.

Inflation Sleeves or Garments: 

The soft, inflatable sleeves or garments wrap around the affected limb (arm or leg). The sleeves comprise multiple air chambers that inflate and deflate one-at-a-time, massaging the limb and pumping lymph fluid.

Tubing:

Flexible tubing connects the control unit to the inflation sleeves. Tubing is responsible for carrying pressurized air from the air compressor to the air chambers in the sleeves.

Pressure Valves:

The pressure valves are built in to manage air flow and to guarantee air pressure is applied safely and evenly throughout treatment across the inflation chambers.

Power Supply:                                                             

The pump requires electricity to run, depending on the model.

The pump connects to power through a plug-in power cord or, in some cases, through rechargeable batteries.

How Does a Lymphedema Pump Works?

Used for swelling: It helps reduce swelling caused by lymphedema (fluid buildup in arms or legs).

Inflatable sleeve: The patient wears a sleeve around the swollen limb.

Gentle air pressure: The pump fills the sleeve with air in cycles, creating gentle pressure.

Rhythmic compression: The pressure moves in waves—from the far end of the limb toward the body.

Moves lymph fluid: This helps push the trapped lymph fluid back into the body’s lymphatic system for proper drainage.

Improves circulation: It boosts blood and lymph flow, reducing swelling and discomfort.

Benefits of Using a Lymphedema Pump:

Reduced swelling: The primary benefit of using a lymphedema pump is a reduction in swelling in the affected limb. This can improve mobility, reduce pain, and improve overall quality of life.

Improved circulation: The pressure applied by the lymphedema pump helps to stimulate circulation and move lymphatic fluid out of the affected limb. This can improve overall circulation and promote healing.

Pain relief: Lymphedema can be a painful condition, but using a lymphedema pump can help to reduce pain and discomfort associated with swelling.

Preventing complications: Untreated lymphedema can lead to a variety of complications, including infections and skin ulcers. Using a lymphedema pump can help to prevent these complications and improve overall health outcomes.

Non-invasive: Unlike other treatments for lymphedema, such as surgery or medication, lymphedema pumps are non-invasive and do not require any incisions or injections.

Lymphedema Pump price in India:

The price of a lymphedema pump in India can vary depending on the brand, model, and features of the device. Generally, lymphedema pumps range in price from Rs.. 25,000 to Rs.. 1.2 lakh or more.

Maintenance Tips for Lymphedema Pump:

Regularly Clean the Inflatable Sleeves

After each usage, it is important to wipe the inflatable sleeves or garments with a damp cloth, mild soap, and fully dry the unit before the next use to prevent mold and bacteria from forming.

Look for Air Leaks:

Check sleeves and tubing for evidence of holes, tears or loose fittings during your inspections, as air leaking out will decrease the effectiveness of the pump, and any holes should be repaired/replaced quickly.

Check Your Tubing:

Make sure that the tubing is not kinked, bent or obstructed in any way and free flowing air can travel through it. Use caution when storing tubing and keeping it in the confines of a bag prevents exterior damage.

Clean the Control Unit:

The control box should be wiped down using a soft, dry cloth, and avoid liquids getting into the box. Do not use aggressive chemicals in the wipes and avoid spraying liquids inside the control unit.

Check Using the Electric Components:

Inspect the power cord and plug for wear and tear damage. Replace the power cord immediately if damage is visible to avoid electric hazards.
