People interested in using or purchasing a sequential pneumatic pump should be aware that not all pumps are equal in design or treatment of lymphedema. Once a doctor recommends and prescribes a pump for treatment of lymphedema it is up to you to make an informed choice. When inquiring about a pump there are important things to consider?
Many pumps available on the market are uni-compartmental, or have 2 or 3 chambers that may not overlap, and have a long cycle time, which can be very uncomfortable, Pumps with overlapping chambers, a short cycle time (26 sec) seem most effective.
