Huntleigh Flowtron Hydroven 3 Lymphedema Pump

Flowtron Hydroven 3 is a lightweight compression pump designed for the treatment of a wide variety of vascular or lymphatic conditions including lymphedema, venous insufficiency, venous stasis ulcers, and localized edema following trauma or dependent edema. Medical Compression Therapy pumps assist blood and fluid flow which has been inhibited by impairment or injury. These inflatable sleeves are sold separately with two sleeve types available which are sold separately to fit the leg or arm. The Single Chamber Garments provide uniform compression to the limb and the 3-Chamber Garments offer graduated sequential compression therapy. By applying intermittent compression to a limb via specially designed garments, blood flow is increased and extra-cellular fluid is cleared. Flowtron Hydroven 3 Pump is simple to use with preset cycles and adjustable pressure settings.

The Flowtron Hydroven 3 pump is manufactured by Huntleigh, a leader in medical grade compression pumps. This Lymphedema Pump system is ideal for safe compression therapy in hospitals, nursing homes, treatment clinics and the home. Hospitals can benefit from purchasing the inserts to fit a variety of limb circumferences. The insert provides true circumferential compression of larger limbs without the need to purchase additional garments when treating larger limbs.

The Huntleigh Flowtron Hydroven 3 Compression Pump has an adjustable pressure range of 30-100mmHg for the treatment of various types of lymphedema. The Huntleigh Flowtron Hydroven 3 Lymphedema Compression Pump is designed with two snap-lock air ports so you can easily operate two garments at once without the need for an adapter.

Huntleigh also manufactures the Flowtron FPR Compression Pump. Many feel the Flowtron FPR and Hydroven 3 compression pumps are equally effective at treating varying types of lymphedema. Deciding over one or the other is primarily a physician's preference, though many feel they are equally effective. The Flowtron Hydroven 3 Lymphedema Pump System has been ergonomically designed for efficient use in many different situations from the clinic to the home. The controls, indicators, and connectors are simple to use and can be accessed with ease. Thoughtful design features mean the compression pump can be handled, transported and stored safely and easily. Huntleigh Flowtron FPR Compression Pump therapy offers three chamber non-gradient sequential therapy. The Hydroven 3 has a shorter inflate (length of compression time) over the Hydroven FPR and longer deflate time. This provides an equal squeeze compression time (90 seconds) and equal rest period (90 seconds) between inflations. The comparitive chart below displays the attributes of both Huntleigh Compression Pump options.
