Lymphedema Pump 

The Alternating Pressure Pump (APP) helps reduce and control swelling and other disorders. The pump is used in conjunction with a compression sleeve, which is regularly inflated and deflated to produce a "pumping action”. The pumping action gently forces fluids trapped in the extremity, enclosed by the sleeve, to be returned to the circulatory system, from which they can be eliminated from the body by natural processes.
