Description

The 12-chamber-system Lymphamat® GRADIENT

The lympha-mat® GRADIENT has been established and successful for many years. It is known worldwide for its pneumatic pressurization with the gradient principle, and for its overlapping air chamber system integrated in the treatment sleeves.

Lympha-mat® GRADIENT is suited for all kinds of limb oedema, having its focal point in the treatment of lip-oedema, lymphatic oedema and mixed forms – in clinical, ambulant and domestic fields. Pressure gradient generates a physiologically efficient pressure decline. Thus the fluid mobilized in the high pressure range (100%) may pass unhampered through the low pressure levels (80% and 60%).

A significantly minimized pressure at the sleeve’s end relieves the adjacent drainage area and is highly positive on lymphatic oedema.

The Principle

In one compression cycle, a sleeve’s twelve overlapping chambers are filled with air in succession, ascending in a distal direction. Chambers 1-4 to 100%, chambers 5-8 to 80%, chambers 9-12 to 60% of the set pressure.

All the chambers remain filled with air until the last chamber has attained the desired pressure. The air is then released simultaneously from all twelve chambers, and after an interval the inflation cycle begins once again.

The Treatment Sleeves

The up-to-date and easy-to-use treatment sleeves result from our 20 years of experience in the field of intermittent compression. Our sleeves consist of only high-quality materials which are extremely robust, easy to clean and disinfect, and fully tolerated by the body. They meet DIN EN ISO standards and thus pass strict biological tests.

The internal air chamber system contains twelve over-lapping air chambers produced in long-life polyurethane. It is covered with a special textile which is dirt-repellant and easy to clean in daily use. Multiple plugs, zippers and Velcro fastenings simplify the handling. If additional decongestion of abdominal and pelvic area is required, the 24-chamber-compression trousers or a combination of hip and leg sleeves is recommended.
