Device Description: The PCD-51™ system is a sequential pneumatic compression therapy system for treatment and (View more) The PCD-51™ system is a sequential pneumatic compression therapy system for treatment and management of lymphedema, venous insufficiency, venous stasis ulcers and dysfunction of the "muscle pump".The PCD-51™ system consists of:• The console (sometimes called "compressor" or "pump"). It supplies air at regulated pressure to a compression garment that is worn around the area to be treated.• Hoses that transfer the air from the console to each of the chambers in the compression garment.• The compression garment is fastened around the area to be treated. Each garment contains 4 overlapping air chambers. These chambers are filled with air from the console in sequence, applying a compressive massage. Once the entire area has been compressed, the console releases the pressure, and there is a brief pause. Then the process starts over again and is repeated until the treatment session is complete.The compress-and-release massage action of the PCD-51™ system stimulates lymphatic vessels in the treated area to take up and transport lymphatic fluid. The directional massage action encourages transport of the fluid towards the torso for collection by healthy lymphatic vessels and return to the blood circulation. The directional compressive massage also helps reduce venous edema and stimulates venous return. (View less)
