Lymphatic Therapy Equipment Australia – Compression Pump Systems for Lymphoedema Management

Safety and Mobility supplies lymphatic therapy equipment including sequential compression pump systems used in the management of lymphoedema, chronic venous oedema, and related lymphatic disorders in Australia. Sequential pneumatic compression (SPC) therapy uses a pump unit and inflatable garment to apply a series of graduated compression waves that move proximally up the affected limb, mechanically stimulating lymphatic drainage and reducing swelling in clients whose lymphatic system is impaired or overloaded.

Lymphatic compression pump therapy is used alongside manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), compression garments, skin care, and exercise as part of Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT), the recognised gold standard approach to lymphoedema management. Our compression pump systems are suited to clinical use in specialist lymphoedema clinics and for home-based maintenance therapy under clinical supervision. Garment attachments are available for upper and lower limb lymphoedema and bilateral presentations.

As a registered NDIS provider, Safety and Mobility can supply lymphatic therapy equipment to eligible NDIS participants under appropriate clinical prescription. Contact our team for product information and NDIS documentation support across Australia.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Who is lymphatic compression pump therapy suitable for?
Sequential compression pump therapy is commonly used for clients with secondary lymphoedema (resulting from cancer treatment, surgery, or infection), primary lymphoedema, and chronic venous oedema. It is generally used as an adjunct to other components of CDT rather than as a standalone treatment. A lymphoedema therapist or specialist physician should assess suitability, as there are some contraindications to pneumatic compression therapy.

2. Can lymphatic compression pumps be used at home?
Yes, many clients use compression pump systems at home as part of their ongoing lymphoedema maintenance program, following initial intensive treatment in a clinical setting. Home use allows for regular, convenient therapy sessions and can help maintain the reductions achieved during clinical treatment. Our team can advise on home-appropriate models and assist with NDIS funding applications where eligible.
