Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Males and females ≥ 18 years of age
  • Willing to sign the informed consent and deemed capable of following the study protocol
  • Subjects must have a diagnosis of primary or secondary unilateral lower extremity edema
  • At the time of initial evaluation, individuals must be at least 3 months post surgery, chemotherapy and/or radiation treatment for cancer if applicable

Exclusion criteria

  • Individuals with a history or presence of an acute systemic disorder or condition that could place the patient at increased risk from sequential compression therapy
  • Inability or unwillingness to participate in all aspects of study protocol and/or inability to provide informed consent
  • Patients with exam results that would prevent safe and effective use of the study device (cellulitis, open-wounds, healing-wounds, etc.)
  • Patients must not have any diagnosed cognitive or physical impairment that would interfere with use of the device
  • Diagnosis of lipedema
  • Diagnosis of active or recurrent cancer (< 3 months since completion of chemotherapy, radiation therapy or primary surgery for the cancer)
  • Diagnosis of Acute infection (in the last four weeks)
  • Diagnosis of acute thrombophlebitis (in last 6 months)
  • Diagnosis of pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis within the previous 6 months
  • Diagnosis of pulmonary edema
  • Diagnosis of congestive heart failure (uncontrolled)
  • Diagnosis of chronic kidney disease with acute renal failure
  • Diagnosis of epilepsy
  • Patients with poorly controlled asthma
  • Any condition where increased venous and lymphatic return is undesirable
  • Women who are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or nursing at study entry
  • Participation in any clinical trial of an investigational substance or device during the past 30 days

Primary outcomes

  1. LYMQOL (LYMphedema Quality of Life) ***All Relevant Time Points Used in the Calculation in the Time Frame (e.g., Baseline and 3 Months).***

    Time frame: 3 months

    The Lymphedema Quality of Life Questionnaire (LYMQOL), a validated disease-specific QoL tool, was also administered at baseline and at month 3. Overall QoL is scored on a single item by the patient on a scale of 1-10. The outcome measure is assessed as a difference or change from baseline LYMQOL at day zero and month 3.

    Higher value is better on the QoL outcome and is more favorable.

  2. Change in Edema Volume

    Time frame: 3 months

    Change in edema volume is measured as the difference between the edema volume at 3 months and edema volume at baseline. Edema volume is the difference in volume between the affected and unaffected limb. Limb volume measurement is performed by using a calibrated tape measure to measure circumference from the ankle and at 4cm increments to the waist region. Measurements are taken for both lower extremities. Volume is calculated based on cylindrical segment analysis.

    A greater change in edema volume between the two time points is better on reduction of limb volume/swelling.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Safety/AEs

    Time frame: 3 months

    As assessed by reported adverse events

  2. Number of Patients Using the Device Every Day for at Least 45 Minutes

    Time frame: 3 months

    Outcome measure will be evaluated based on number of patients that have used the device for the recommended use of 45 minutes per day over the duration of 3 months.
