- The Effectiveness of Intermittent Pneumatic Compression in Long-Term Therapy of Lymphedema of Lower LimbsAbstractBackground: The manual lymphatic drainage in lymphedema has proved to be successful; however, this method cannot be applied to millions of patients around the world. The only solution is to offer inexpensive, easily accessible mechanical devices for pneumatic compression (IPC). These devices
- Blood-flow augmentation of intermittent pneumatic compression systems used for the prevention of deep vein thrombosis prior to surgeryPurpose To compare, using Duplex ultrasonography, different intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) systems to augment venous blood flow for deep venous thrombosis (DVT) prevention during and after surgery and during periods of immobility.
