Pneumatic compression Device
A Pneumatic Compression Device is a therapeutic system designed to improve blood circulation and reduce swelling in the limbs through controlled, intermittent air pressure. Using inflatable garments such as sleeves or boots, it helps prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT), manage lymphedema, and support post‑surgical or immobility‑related recovery. Suitable for home, hospital, and clinical use, it promotes vascular health, comfort, and effective fluid management.
