Pneumatic compression devices are appliances that facilitate the initial reduction of extremity edema and. swelling. Pneumatic compression devices are commonly used for the treatment of acute and chronic. peripheral lymphedema to facilitate the mobilization of fluid from the limbs into the trunk and central body. cavity.

Optimal management of lymphedema requires the use of. compression garments between treatments to maintain the reduction achieved. Pneumatic compression devices consist of an inflatable garment for the arm or leg and an electrical. pneumatic pump that fills the garment with compressed air. The garment is intermittently inflated and. deflated with cycle times and pressures that vary among devices.

When a pneumatic compression device is determined to be medically necessary, a non-segmented device or segmented device without manual control of the pressure in each chamber is generally considered adequate to meet the clinical needs of the member.

Intermittent pneumatic compression devices compress the leg and/or foot and ankle and act as a pump to improve circulation in the lower extremities. Pneumatic compression devices consist of an inflatable garment for the leg and an electrical pneumatic pump that fills the garment with compressed air. The garment is intermittently inflated and deflated with cycle times and pressures that vary between devices.
