For many years, Compression therapy, has been medically recognized as one of the most effective non-invasive therapies to manage and treat the complications associated chronic or non healing wounds, venous disorders (such as Chronic Venous Insufficiency, CVI) and edema. Specifically, gradient, segmental, intermittent compression therapy has been the subject of various studies showing vastly improved healing and treatment for patients with otherwise persistent chronic conditions.

The best results with compression therapy occur when used as an adjunctive therapy along with other forms of treatment. Medical Solutions Supplier works with physicians, therapists, nurses and their patients across the country, supplying pneumatic compression pumps, complete patient training and full service care to those in need. These pumps are to be used in conjunction with other products and therapies (compression hose, wrappings, wound care and Manual Lymph Drainage) and will drastically increase the results of their treatments.

Compression therapy offers effective, proven solutions for physicians, therapists and nurses where other modalities have failed to produce substantial results; and offers patients a way to manage their condition and significantly improve the quality of life over the long term.

Compression Therapy is Proven Effective Treatment for the Following Conditions:

Chronic Wounds:
There are 3 basic reasons a wound will be resistant to healing: circulation issues, infection (such as cellulitis) and edema. Circulation issues decrease the healing rate by stopping an ample amount of fresh, oxygenated blood from reaching the wound bed. Edema will flush the wound bed of the necessary collagen needed to promote new tissue growth. Infection will destroy the collagen prior to the new tissue growth. Compression therapy has been shown to prevent reoccurring wounds and to improve the healing rate by 30% - 50% by decreasing the edema and increasing the flow of oxygenated blood to the wound site in the following wound conditions:
• Stasis Ulcers
• Blisters
• Seepage of Lymphatic Fluid

Edema
Pronounced swelling, often of the extremities, resulting from damage or malfunction of the lymphatic system is known as Lymphedema. There are 2 basic types of Lymphedema as listed below. While the causes can vary, compression therapy is one of the most affective ways to treat this condition by reducing swelling and promoting circulation of the lymphatic fluid.
• Primary Lymphedema: as caused by Congenital-Milroy’s, Praecox, Tarda Proximal/Distal Obliteration.
• Secondary (Acquired) Lymphedema: as caused by, but not limited to Post-Mastectomy, Lymph Node Dissection or Removal, Surgeries or Injuries that scar the lymphatic channels.

Venous Disorders
Compression therapy promotes circulation and can vastly improve healing for the following conditions:
• Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI)
• Crural/Stasis Ulcerations
