The Flexitouch system is an innovative, automated device designed for the at-home treatment of lymphedema. Based on the gentle work-and-release of manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) therapy, the Flexitouch system is the only device proven to be more effective than self-MLD in maintaining or reducing limb volume between clinic visits.¹ By removing the obstacles to consistent, effective self-care, the Flexitouch system helps patients improve their overall health and enjoy a higher quality of life.

Unique Mechanism of Action

Unlike traditional compression pumps that squeeze and hold the affected areas, the Flexitouch system promotes natural movement of fluid through the lymphatic system into healthy areas of the body.

This unique mechanism of action follows the principles of MLD, delivering significant and measurable results. In a recent study focusing on at-home lymphedema therapy:²

• 90% of patients reported feeling satisfied with the Flexitouch system
• 95% of patients using the device maintained or reduced limb volume
• 95% of patients reported continuing use of their Flexitouch system
• Patients reported significant improvements in physical and emotional health
