Explore research and educational resources related to pneumatic compression, lymphedema management, venous-ulcer care, arterial compression, and post-mastectomy patient protections.
The summaries on this page are brief descriptions of the linked resources and do not replace the complete publications, clinical judgment, device instructions, or individualized medical advice. Read the full source PDF before relying on a study’s methods, limitations, or conclusions.
These resources discuss intermittent pneumatic compression, lymphedema, wound care, venous ulcers, post-mastectomy care, and patient outcomes.
This study reports that intermittent pneumatic compression may reduce edema fluid in the arm and decrease tissue stiffness. It also discusses early compression therapy in relation to limb enlargement and secondary tissue changes.
Open PDF Study
This study reports an association between lymphedema compression-pump use and reductions in infections and hospitalizations among patients with lower-extremity lymphedema.
Open PDF Study
This abstract discusses tissue-fluid pressure and flow during pneumatic compression in lower-limb lymphedema and considers how external pressure settings affect tissue-fluid movement.
Open PDF Study
This review discusses different pneumatic compression systems used for lymphedema and emphasizes combining pump therapy with other clinician-directed measures such as garments, elevation, and manual techniques.
Open PDF Study
This resource reports that a four-chamber pneumatic compression pump and boot were associated with faster wound-size reduction than treatment without a pump.
Open PDF Study
This study, co-authored by Linda Miller, PT, supports a multimodal treatment plan that includes compression garments, elevation, exercise, and a lymphedema compression pump.
Open PDF Study
This resource discusses the use of sequential pneumatic compression in venous-ulcer healing.
Open PDF Study
This study describes outcomes associated with pneumatic compression in venous-ulcer care and reports improvement among the patients studied.
Open PDF Study
This study reviews the lymphatic system, complications, and treatment options and discusses the combined use of garments, massage, and sequential pneumatic compression.
Open PDF Study
This study reports that pneumatic compression therapy was associated with reduced limb volume and improved quality of life among many of the patients observed.
Open PDF StudyThese resources discuss intermittent pneumatic compression in relation to peripheral arterial disease, ischemic pain, walking distance, and arterial-ulcer management.
This study reports that long-term arterial-assist intermittent pneumatic compression increased toe-capillary flow and extended painless walking distance in the patients studied.
Open PDF StudyThis randomized controlled trial reports improvements in peak walking time, resting pain, and healing outcomes among patients with peripheral arterial disease and critical limb ischemia.
Open PDF StudyThis review discusses high-pressure intermittent calf-and-foot compression for arterial ulcers and ischemic pain and reports a mean reduction in wound surface area in the study population.
Open PDF StudyThe Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 provides federal protections when a group health plan or health-insurance issuer covers medical and surgical benefits for a mastectomy. Required mastectomy-related coverage includes:
Coverage is determined in consultation with the attending physician and patient and may be subject to the plan’s applicable deductibles and coinsurance. Health plans must also provide notice describing these protections. Patients should review their plan documents and contact the plan administrator or insurer for benefit details.
