Pumps or Pneumatic Compression Therapy (PCT)

Pumps, or Pneumatic Compression Therapy (PCT), represent an innovative approach to managing lymphatic drainage and fluid retention. This therapy involves using a specialised garment meticulously designed to cover the affected area. Once activated, this garment inflates, applying gentle but effective pressure that encourages the drainage of lymphatic fluid away from the area in question. This compression method is particularly advantageous for individuals dealing with sensitive conditions, such as fragile or broken skin, where traditional manual massage might be difficult and potentially harmful.

PCT offers a therapeutic solution that combines the benefits of lymphatic drainage with the utmost consideration for the patient's comfort and skin integrity. By simulating the natural movements that stimulate lymph flow, PCT assists in reducing swelling, alleviating discomfort, and promoting the healing of the affected tissues without the need for direct physical manipulation. This makes it an ideal, non-invasive alternative for those who may find manual lymphatic massage uncomfortable or contraindicated.

Moreover, PCT's controlled pressure ensures a uniform therapeutic effect, reducing the risk of further injury to delicate skin areas. It's a testament to the advances in therapeutic technologies aimed at enhancing patient care and outcomes.
