Compression Pump Testimonials
(Edema, Lymphedema, CVI)
The compression boots are helping with the swelling so much so that my infectious disease doctor wanted to know what I was doing. I took the machine in and showed him how it worked. I imagine he will be contacting your company as he asked for the information. So far it is working and my legs are improving
Most effective therapy I have ever been introduced to. Easy to use and comfortable with fantastic results. I have used daily 2x each day and decreased at least 17cm maybe more in 30 days. Would recommend it most definitely. I can finally wear the size of clothes I need, not just to fit the very large arm size by increasing garment size.
A nurse instructed me how to use the equipment. She measured the calves of both legs. They were 20 inches right & left. Now they are down to 16 ¾ (left) and 17” (right leg). I am walking better, as the knee swelling is down also.
My calves and ankles have slimmed down to where they were 40 years ago! (I am now 75). I can wear my dress shoes comfortably. The reduced fluid in my lower legs has dramatically lessoned & the pains of knee arthritis and my dependency on Aleve and Advil has disappeared. I’ll happily use my “blue pants” for the rest of my life!
This pump has truly improved the quality of my leg, reduced swelling and walking ability. I don’t have to set as long as I use to. While not 100%, it is still a quality of life for me, and my wife. At the end of the day even though I use it about 3-4 hours, I can continue to see the swelling go down and the leg is not as heavy as before.
This unit has made a great relief in the swelling and pain in my leg and foot. The swelling was so severe I thought my skin was going to just pop open. I’m also very grateful that I had a doctor that was knowledgeable in the use of this unit.
My legs swell to large size without the boots and pump. When I use the boots and pump as directed, my legs return to a size approximately normal.
The pneumatic pump machine works very well for me. I use the machine frequently and it helps with reducing the fluid. It is very convenient for me as I have a disabled husband in the wheelchair and it is difficult to get out to therapy. Thank you so much for this opportunity.
This device has been easy to use and it operates very well. The swelling in my legs continues to improve daily. Having the pump at home has helped a great deal since I can’t drive, making arrangements to visit a medical office would be too difficult.
This equipment works wonders with my legs. I have never seen my feet & legs this small and uniform sin I can’t remember when. I would highly urge other people that have fluid and swelling problems like me to use this product. This pump is easy to use.
The use of this machine has helped my leg swelling to decrease. I think the continued use will continue to help me. I also appreciate the help my rep gave in the use of the machine. She had to drive approx. 2 ½ hours at least twice to assist me in regulating the machine to use it.
With the use of the Lymphedema Pump, the swelling in my feet and legs has been reduced tremendously. I would recommend it for anyone that has the same condition.
I am very pleased with the results of using the compression pump. My legs and feet are in much better condition. It has helped a wound and ulcer which involved both right and left extremities.
Since using the pump my condition has much improved and the foot ulcers are healing faster.
I am a T9 complete paraplegic. Before I received my Lymphedema pump I had constant problems with swollen legs & feet. I had bleeding cracks between my toes that would not heal. In one month with my pump for 1hr. a day all these problems have gone away. And I can now see the bones in my feet & lower legs. Amazing!
My Dad entered the hospital with legs that were swollen 4x their normal size. When I took my dad home we continued the leg medication that was used in the hospital for the wounds on his legs (blisters). After receiving the pump and using it 3x’s a day for 1 hour, his legs are back to normal. We continue to use the pump to keep him and his legs healthy.
For the past 3 weeks I have been using the pneumatic compression pump which has been helping me with circulation in both legs. I have (CVI). Added to that it is amazing how the pump is healing the wound on my (r) leg tremendously. It’s a slow process but I believe I will be fully healed as I continue to use this pump every day. All in all, I would recommend the pump for anyone how has CVI discase and similar health problems. Thanks for providing me with the opportunity to use the pneumatic compression pump.
About six months ago my legs started to swell and red rash appeared. I was sent to various doctors and tried several procedures nothing helped. I decided to take things in my own hands and visited my podiatrist. He suggested I try the Lympha Press Pump. After 6 weeks my legs were back to normal. I am now using the leggings one hour per day. I feel much better about the situation. The Lympha Press has worked miracles for me!
Use of the pump has remarkable reduced swelling of both lower legs. Wounds have almost completely healed. Fluid in legs has also been extremely decreased. Overall, success in using the compression pump has been remarkably successful.
The compression pump is much easier to use than I ever anticipated. I use the pump 3x/day for 1 hour each time, and I am so comfortable that I can actually fall asleep while using the machine and the hour passes quickly. My lower legs are smaller than they have been in years & the leg wound that I have had for over 6 months is finally starting to show improvement. I have severe osteoarthritis in both knees & have seen a decrease in knee pain. The compression seems to have also improved the muscle strength in my legs.
My left leg is fused at the knee that means it will never, ever bend again. In other words, I have a completely straight leg. However, someone (obviously) studied the various patients and their limitations prior to designing the leg sleeves. Thank you a thougsand times over now that I am a recent widow. I can use these sleeves and maintain my independence. In other words, I can put the sleeves on ALL BY MYSELF. May God continue to inspire the designer!
I have lymphedema in my right arm. When I use this pump it reduces my arm back to almost normal size. I tried other means that did no help much. This pump is a lifesaver for me and I don’t know what I would do without it. it is very easy to use and does a good job. I use it usually twice a day an hour each time. I am so thankful to have this machine. I highly recommend it.
I have auto-immune hepatitis. As a result, my fluid retention has been horrendous for almost 4 years. Diuretics had little to no effect. My feet and lower legs were truly terrible. I accidently cut my lower leg and because of the constant swelling, it was not healing. Long story short, the pump system has allowed it to heal and me to walk around like a normal person. This system is a miracle!
I am the nurse taking care of patient on a daily basis. The compression pump has made a world of difference in the few short weeks patient has been using it his bilateral wounds have almost totally healed. Would recommend this product to others J
The relief I have received from the pump is tremendous. The pressure and swelling in my leg can now be controlled by the pump. I have also received relief from groin and back pain caused by the swelling I experienced before receiving the pump. I can walk for my daily exercise now which was a problem before. Thanks.
After using my arm pump there is a lot of relief from swelling in my arm; thus giving me more use of my arm. This is a wonderful thing for me to have in the treatment of my lymphedema, right in my own home.
Since using my pump I’ve seen a vast improvement in my legs. Before I started using it it seemed no matter what I did my legs and feet were always swollen. I’m so grateful to have this pump in my life.
The pump therapy proved to be very efficient at reducing lymphedema as compared to compression stocking. Leg pain & discomfort are significantly reduced. The reduction in swelling allows for improved movement in the knee. Surgeon stated that surgery wound is healing and swelling reduction are faster than expected from the effects of the pump.
I did not know what to expect when I started using my pump, but the results have been remarkable! I have had lymphedema in my left foot/leg for several years. The swelling made walking a chore. Today the swelling is greatly reduced, my shoe fits better and I can walk greater distances. The prescribed treatments daily fit into my schedule and I enjoy the feeling of a deep massage. My pump and stocking are prized possessions.
This product is amazing. The swelling in my husband’s legs is so much better. He had sever dry, flaky skin on his legs & feet. All this is gone. He used to have bone wrenching muscle spasms that would split the calf muscle. No more muscle spasms. This is a product we should have had years ago.
This is a life saving invention. It makes it so much more convenient and easy to control my lymphedema with the use in my home. Thank you so much Medical Solutions and especially my service rep.
Using this pump helps to reduce the chronic lymphedema in my left leg. The open sores on my leg heal much faster.
The pump was brought to my home by a representative from Medical Solutions. The rep gave a detailed explanation of how the pump functions. I thought it was easy to use. We did a trial run. I could see improvement in my arm immediately. I now use the pump on my own 2-3 times a day. It has been effective in reducing the fluid in my arm. Thank you for making this product available.
I have had this problem with my legs for over ten years and nothing has helped like the support given by this pump. This has helped more than all the wraps used in all this time. Thanks for the relief.
This pump has helped me so much. It has made my leg feel much better and has shrunk my leg in size by two times. I use my compression pump twice daily. It has made my lifestyle easier by helping my leg size go down. thank so much for making this equipment available.
Before I started using the compression pump I was only able to walk on the treadmill for 3 minutes. After using the pump for three weeks, I can now walk for 10 to 15 minutes.
The compression pump device really helps with the swelling and circulation in my legs. When I’m done using it, my legs are so much better the bone shows in the top of my leg. After using the machine for 3 weeks, my ankles are not swollen anymore.
I have seen a great improvement in my lymphedema. This works better than wraps which I tried about 5 years ago. I had to stop the wraps because of my allergy to latex and adhesive wraps. Thank you sincerely!
I have been diagnosed with lymphedema since 2003 with 3 severe episodes since then. I really feel this is what I have needed in the past to help keep my legs down with fewer episodes of swelling. Thanks so very much for this product and for continuing to design products to aid in lymphedema. I really appreciate your company and staff for taking care of my needs. the lady that set me up is very pleasant to work with.
This Lymphedema pump was a blessing. To begin with, I had no idea I had lymphedema until I was in the hospital. My legs would get so big I could hardly walk. My lasix was increased but that did not get the swelling down. Our lymphedema therapist suggested the pump. I am so glad she did. The pump is great. now the swelling is under control. Thank you.
The compression pump that I have recently received has proven to be a major benefit in helping with my recovery and therapy. I have a big problem with swelling and lymphedema in both legs. Without these treatments I probably would have bigger problems. I can’t thank you enough for having this equipment mad making it available to me. I know that whoever you deal with in the future will be just as pleased as I am!!
The pneumatic compression pump is great. I have ankles for the first time in 5 years. My legs feel much better also. Thanks much.
This pump is much more effective in reducing the edema in my legs and feet than cloth wraps.
Before I received my pump, nothing was helping to move the lymphatic fluid above my abdominal area now the swelling has reduced greatly in that area and I am able to walk better both my legs feel better and I continue to also do the physical exercise and also the water therapy but the pump is a life saver for me. Everyone has noticed the improvement. Thank you.
Product is easy to use no discomfort swelling is greatly reduced. The skin color of my legs is much better and my balance has improved. Great product and excellent service.
I had been in wound care for over six months due to swelling of feet and legs which resulted in repeated huge blisters that became open wounds. Before one healed I would have another. Since my pump, I’ve stayed clear. What a great feeling not to be in medical wraps.
This pump greatly improved edema in my father’s right leg. Without it, the surgery to replace the knee might not have been able to be done. His knee had been replaced with a spacer and he got chronic swelling after infection. On 10/19 he got a new knee and is still using the pump.
This pump has been a great help to me. I was not able to lift my legs to get them into bed before I got the pump. I had my legs wrapped by a therapist, but it didn’t help nearly as much. Now I can get into bed by myself.
When my legs swell up I put on the pump and my legs go back to normal size. Also my wound has gotten smaller since using the leg pumps.
Using this pump helps to reduce the chronic lymphedema in my left leg. The open sores on my leg heal much faster.
I am more than satisfied with the pump provided for my lymphedema. The end of day swelling is almost non-existent. They are easy and comfortable to use.
The pump has been a big help in keeping my legs from swelling. Having this equipment in my home has a big help in treating my legs instead of having to go to another location to have it done.
The compression boots have decreased the swollen legs and reduced the size of my varicose veins. Thanks.
I am very well pleased with this product, as I have severe lymphedema and this product has greatly improved my condition. It really helps to keep the swelling under control. I have tried everything for years and this helps me more than any other treatments.
My legs and feet do not feel as heavy. So the equipment is doing it job. My shoes and slippers are easier to put on. The water blisters on my legs are almost gone. The boots that go on my legs are very comfortable.
The use of the pump has significantly reduced the swelling in both legs with associated reduction of pain and difficulty walking. It has promoted the healing of a wound which had previously worsened prior to use of the pump. I can even now get my shoes on. It improved my overall sense of well being with decreased swelling and ability in more activities.
Your product made a significant difference in my life. As I am a handicapped person afflicted by several chronic conditions, using your system has eliminated the possibility of having vascular surgery at this time. Merle Bourke was very personable and highly professional and made the need to using your system a positive step.
The pneumatic pump has helped my leg a great deal since I started using it. The swelling in my leg has gone down quite a bit, and the ugly sores, which often wept, are gone. My leg feels better and looks better. As a result I feel better all over!
~Betty D.
For the first time in over a year, I feel like a doctor finally is on the right road. I have been to three different doctors. A dermatologist told me I have a fungus throughout my body. He had me soaking my open wound in a bucket twice a day. He finally convinced himself that I must be getting better. I wasn’t. When I started working with a new doctor he said he believed he could help me heal. By then I had so much swelling in both legs I could barely walk. My wound was very painful and getting large. From my first visit, I had hope. I use the pump 3 times a day. It is the only thing that has helped my swelling. The wound is getting smaller, but I can’t wait to be pain free after over a year of draining and swelling daily. Thank God there is something that helps me.
The compression pump has helped me keep the swelling down. The swelling has virtually disappeared now that I use the pump as directed (twice a day for one hour each time). I wish I had known about this pump years ago. It is easy to use and it works.
The equipment is working wonders. I try to use it twice a day, however, I have a busy calendar and some days can only take time for once a day treatments. This system is fantastic. The swelling in my feet and legs has really decreased. I am now starting to walk short distances in my development using our walking paths!
I was diagnosed with cellulitis and lymphedema July 2009. I was on antibiotics and had appointments at the wound clinic for leg wraps, which did not work for me. I even had a physical therapist come to my home to give me exercises, which did help a little. My legs continued to “weep” and the wounds weren’t getting any better. I was literally out of options and hope. Then my doctor prescribed the pump and compression therapy. I’m so grateful that he did. My condition has improved considerably. My wounds are almost gone and my pain has become manageable. Thank you.
Using my lymphedema pump is easy for me. The swelling in my legs is reduced. The color is normal. The purple is gone and the pink discoloration is gone in one leg and almost in the other leg. The right leg isn’t icy cold as it formerly was. It feels as if I have 10 to 12 pounds less in my legs. It’s easier to walk and I do so at a faster rate. Best of all, I have this therapy right at home when I have no car for transportation. It sure is convenient.
We have only good things to say about your equipment and the rep who patiently and carefully instructed us. My legs just wouldn’t go down with medication and support hose. Your machine has been like a miracle. We truly appreciate it. My cellulitis is greatly (?unidentifiable word) and I can be more active.
I’m not sure how I would be able to walk and get around without the pump and compression. My circulation has improved and I don’t labor as much as I did previously.
I really hate to take the leg pumps off when my hour is up because it makes my legs feel so good, which they didn’t before because of the neuropathy. I also have not had a number of blisters on my legs like I had before starting to use the leg pumps. This is the best thing that was prescribed for my problem.
The Petite Magic System pump and sleeves provided by Medical Solutions has really helped to reduce the lymphedema in my legs. Their company representative quickly explained its easy use. My three daily uses have reduced the swelling to where I can say, “I have ankles again!”.
It is quite simple and comfortable to use! I put my legs in boots and can sit back and watch tv knowing that the leg boots are doing their job. I feel that this is an asset to my health and I am extremely pleased!
We see significant improvement in legs and feet. She can put shoes on for the first time in many months. Her legs are also smaller allowing us to utilize clothing she was unable to wear for over a year. As I mentioned, if she sits up for many hours we do see some swelling. Because she is in a wheelchair it is often difficult to elevate her legs. We are overjoyed at the progress we have seen to date. She is no longer weeping or having skin tears in her lower legs.
~ Betty B. (Daughter and 24/7 Caregiver)
This device has helped reduce the wounds occurring with my venous status. Also it seems to reduce neuropathy pains in the legs and feet.
In the weeks prior to receiving the pneumatic compression pump, my legs and ankles had swollen to about double their normal size. The reasons are not totally clear to me although blood clots due to carcinoma and compromised valves in the legs contributed. I began use of the pump between Christmas 2009 and New Year’s. Pain has been greatly reduced; my legs are almost back to normal size! Thanks!
Before I started using the pump, my legs would retain a lot of fluid. They would swell up, blisters and fluid would run from them, sometimes had enough to soak through bandages and even my pant legs. This was happening even though I was on strict diuretic therapy, putting my legs up three times a day, and sleeping with my legs elevated. These pumps have worked so well; no swelling or blisters since I started using them. The blisters were so bad that they would turn into sores. I was afraid I would end up losing a leg because of it.
I received the lymphedema machine in November after many weeks of exercise to reduce my lymphedema with very little result. I was given excellent instruction in the use of the machine. It seems to be working. Along with my night sleeve and the day sleeve, the swelling has decreased. Nothing before this treatment had worked.
The use of the pump has made it more convenient for both the patient and caregiver because we do not have wrapping and binding of the legs all the time.
It has really helped with my stomach and pushing out excess fluid.
The pump that I received from your company is just fantastic. My arms are looking much better.
Complete satisfaction is an understatement.

ArterialFlow Pump Testimonials
I have been using the arterial pump since the fall and since then I have seen significant improvement in my right toe. My follow up appointments have been very positive and I wish to continue therapy.
~ Therise G.
I feel that without this pump my foot would NOT have healed. It was only used after every other option had been used.
~ Marilyn S.
It has had great improvement on healing heel pressure wound. Last three weeks measurement was cut in half. Treatment has helped with muscle spasms in calf of legs & cut back on pain meds.
My husband had two mini strokes and suffers from peripheral vascular disease. (after surgeries) he was hospitalized for fifty-two days. He developed venous ulcers all around his left ankle and foot, leaving bone exposed. The hospital Wound Center treating the wounds recommended the arterial pump. During the two months he has been using the pump, he has less pain and there is no additional skin breakdown.
~ Barbara Z.
The arterial assist pump has helped me to promote healing to my bilateral ankle ulcers. The pump has assisted me in pain control.
The Arterial Pump has greatly improved the healing process of her ulcers… without the use of the arterial pump will end up back in the hospital and face eventual amputation of right leg.
Been using the arterial pump 3 hrs per day since receiving it. At the time prescribed, had a large ulcer on right leg over a burn scar that all other efforts could not heal. Since using the pump, ulcer has improved significantly and is almost healed. Been back to the doctor and both agree that use should continue.
The pump has helped me greatly with my legs. The machine has reduced the discomfort I’ve been suffering throughout my legs. This has given me the chance to walk a longer distant without much pain. It has also given me the chance to do the treatment in the comfort of my own home. I need the machine badly because it pump the water out of my legs and not let the water get around my heart and lung.
I am a registered nurse and am writing this on behalf of my father. My dad has been using the vascular pump daily with great success. He had severe wounds on both feet for which he underwent hyperbaric treatments and angioplasty. His physician was not optimistic that we could save the leg. The circulation from the angioplasty was predicted to last for only a brief time before circulation would deteriorate. That was in May 2008 and my dad continues to have much improved circulation, no new wounds have developed. His doctor continues to recommend the use of the vascular pump.
My husband has been using the arterial pump twice daily since last May. He has 45% circulation in his left leg after surgery for a blood clot under the knee. He had pain in the leg before starting the pump and he is now pain free when sitting and reclining. We appreciate your efforts in helping to keep the pump under the Medicare Program.
I received this arterial pump November, 2008. I am diabetic and my right big toe had ingrown nail it turned black, brown and green. Doctor said it would need to come off. This machine has healed me and will not need to be cut off. This machine has saved my foot and I have regained my mobility and I would personally recommend this arterial pump to anyone with poor circulation and foot wounds. The oxygen improves circulation immensely. Thank you.
The machine is only a miracle worker. I’ve come from 6 hrs a day to 3hrs to relieve the swelling & pain. Thank you so much. I shall be forever grateful for your service and will tell all that I come in contact about it.
I was very pleased that my doctor was able to obtain the Arterial Pump for me. I use it twice daily and it has been a significant factor in my wound healing as I have a long occlusion in the same lag as the wound. I am most grateful to Dr. Sigal for obtaining the Arterial Pump for me.
I used the compression machine religiously and found I was able to endure the treadmill for longer time. I questioned whether it was really helping until there come a point where I was unable to use the machine and found that I was not able to walk the treadmill for very long. I have gone from walking 2 ½ minutes to 20-25 minutes.
Gerald Kozuch is confined to a wheelchair due to a stroke. He cannot walk and this product is perfect for him. It is comfortable and easy to use. This has helped pressure sores on his feet to heal as well. Gerald is diabetic and it is so important to have this to keep blood flowing to his feet and legs.
The Ulcers are healing slowly with an infected nail bed now healing. Color is improving (toes). I can walk less painfully most days. My ankles are normal size for the 1st time in a year.
My doctor at the hospital wound center has tried various ways to heal this wound with little success, various medicines, hyperbaric chamber for 2 sessions 8 weeks each, now the doctor ordered the compression pump from Medical Solutions Supplier. I have been using it for approx 8 weeks. On June 17, my doctor checked my foot again. For the 1st time in almost 2yrs my foot is now showing a good sign of healing.
The Arterial Pump was an important factor toward the haling process of my foot surgery. Ti improved circulation and I still use it about twice weekly. The Arterial Pump is a very good product.
After being on the pump for 3 months, my test showed I had improved. My legs do not hurt as bad at night. I had lung surgery and was not using the pump as much, the pain got worse. I am now using the pump more and have improved again.
I fell that using the arterial pump has been beneficial to the poor circulation in both of my legs as my movement is better. Being diabetic has caused neuropathy and foot ulceration. In combination with other treatment, the ulcer is healing and my leg/feet mostly is improved with the pump.
I am now getting color back in my foot.
This is making the blood flow down my leg to my foot and is helping to heal the ulcer on my heel.
I have found this type of device a valuable life server. Two years ago I had a toe amputated and this was the result of an ulcer which did not respond to any other treatment (therapy, meds, etc.). My doctor prescribed this device which I used daily two to three times and it has helped to heal new ulcers. This device helped avoid future amputations. I am so thrilled to use such a device.
Vastly improved condition of wound on my toes.
During the past two months, I’ve been using the pneumatic pump on my right leg. It has improved the circulation and I’m so grateful to be able to use this equipment.
I have severe Raynaud’s disease, worsened by Peripheral Artery disease and neuropathy. I have had several spells of cellulitis in my legs and severe ulcers on the fingers of both hands. I have used the Arterial Pump on my legs and have avoided any reoccurrences of cellulitis. I have not had as much luck with my hands’ ulcers. Now that my hands are healed, hopefully I will avoid any new ulcers, just like my legs. Using the arterial pump has not only reduced the swelling, but also significantly reduced the pain it causes. I feel the arterial pump has contributed to the improvement in both my legs and will also help my Raynaud’s disease. Thankyou,
I have had three surgeries on my left leg, including a bypass, and one on my right leg. The last surgery on the left leg was on
October 14, 2009
, after which, I was still having severe pain and stiffness in the leg. My doctor (Timothy Milner ? difficult to read) told me during my last visit that he could not find a pulse in the leg. I started using the arterial pump on
November 20, 2009
. The change has been tremendous. I have little to no pain and no stiffness. I can walk without limping and feeling tired in the leg. This pump has been a great blessing.
I have been using the pump for approximately three weeks. The swelling in the ankles and feet has gone down almost to normal. Dr. Albrecht and I agree that I should continue using the pump, as we are trying to avoid two bypass operations, which at my age (89), are especially serious. Each operation includes a week in the hospital plus rehab and post operative care. All this adds up to a cost that is far in excess to the cost of the pump. It seems to me that my insurance carriers should take this into consideration.
