The support wrapper is identical, whichever program your patient is enrolled in.
Chronic swelling caused by a lymphatic system that can no longer keep up with normal fluid transport. Protein-rich fluid backs up in tissue, triggering inflammation that drives progressive fibrosis. More than 90% of cases are secondary — most commonly following lymph node dissection or radiation.
Atherosclerotic plaque narrows the arteries supplying the legs and feet, reducing blood flow — especially during activity. In advanced disease, flow can’t meet tissue demand even at rest, and PAD can progress to critical limb-threatening ischemia.
International Society of Lymphology staging. Early intervention changes the trajectory.
Lymph transport is impaired but there’s no visible swelling yet. The limb is considered at risk.
.
Soft, pitting swelling that improves with elevation. Minimal fibrosis.
Swelling persists despite elevation. Fibrosis and skin thickening progress.
We handle the claim end to end at no up-front cost to your practice.
Severity is also graded by limb-volume increase against the unaffected side: mild 5–20% · moderate 20–40% · severe over 40%
Compression therapy follows two phases. Pneumatic compression is an adjunct to foundational compression and skin care, not a replacement for it.
Clinician-led decongestion to bring limb volume down.
Patient-managed, lifelong. This is where our program lives.
A wrap and a pump aren’t alternatives — most well-managed patients use both.
The daytime compression wrap is applied before getting up and moving.
The wrap comes off for a 30–60 minute pneumatic compression session that actively moves fluid.
The wrap goes back on for continued graduated compression through the rest of the day.
The wrap holds ground all day; the pump moves fluid the wrap alone can’t.

ARTAIRA uses intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) to sequentially compress the foot and calf three times per minute at high pressure. These compression sequences mimic fast walking and improves blood flow to the feet, ankles, and toes, helping to reduce pain, heal ulcers, and potentially prevent amputation

Foot compressing

Sequential compression to the foot, ankle and calf mimics the muscle-pump action of fast walking — pushing venous blood out of the limb so arterial blood flows in more easily. Over three or more months of consistent use, sustained sessions may support collateral vessel formation.
AIROS uses sequential pneumatic compression to inflate a series of chambers one after another, starting at the ankle and working toward the body. Each chamber stays inflated as the next one fills, creating a wave of pressure that moves lymphatic and venous fluid out of the limb. These cycles mimic the body’s own drainage, helping to reduce swelling, maintain the gains made during clinical decongestive therapy, and give patients a routine they can manage at home between visits

Chamber 1 inflating

Pressure is highest at the ankle and eases as the wave moves up the limb, so fluid is pushed proximally rather than trapped.
Each chamber inflates in turn from the ankle upward and stays inflated, building a wave that moves fluid toward the body. All chambers then release together before the next cycle begins.
Compression isn’t appropriate for every patient. We take circumference measurements at the specified landmarks so sizing drives both efficacy and comfort, walk the patient through their first session, and confirm the diagnostic workup — including ABI screening where relevant — is on file before a device is dispensed.
Measurement points
Before you measure
Verify against the manufacturer form. These landmarks follow conventional compression-garment lettering. Each device has its own measurement form, which may require different or additional points. Always size from the form supplied with the product.
