Our unique garment chambers stimulate the lymphatic system to remove excess fluid and reduce edema. The pneumatic chambers sequentially inflate and deflate for just a few seconds each, creating a gentle wave-like application of pressure to stimulate the movement of lymphatic fluid and direct it toward properly functioning areas of the body.

The study analyzed upper and lower extremity lymphedema patients with cancer related (4a) and non-cancer related lymphedema (4b) treated with the Flexitouch System. The reduction rate of inpatient hospitalization was not statistically significant (4c). Total costs excluded medical equipment (4d). The study evaluated use of the Flexitouch System as a tool for the treatment of lymphedema. The study documented a reduction in the rate of cellulitis episodes following use of the Flexitouch System for the treatment of lymphedema. The Flexitouch System is not used for nor intended for use to treat cellulitis.
