such as Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD). The new
Lympha Press® Optimal is a fully programmable
system specifically developed in conjunction with
European clinics for use with massage therapy. This
pump starts with a unique pre-treatment cycle based
on the principles of manual lymph drainage which
helps empty the proximal lymphatics prior to treatment;
then to calibrated gradient compression, a highly
effective treatment for maximum results and comfort;
and finishes with pre-treatment. This clinical model
is compatible with all Lympha Press® garments. |

Compression Garments
| Compression garments are
the maintenance element of
compression therapy. Once a
limb is reduced, a compression
garment is fit to maintain
the limb at the reduced state.
Compression garments do not
reduce limbs. Great Lakes fits
Juzo, Jobst and Gottfried standard
and custom compression garments
as well as other non-elastic
support devices including BiaCare
products for both upper and
lower extremities. |
