When used appropriately, IPC systems may help:
Reduce chronic limb swelling and fluid accumulation
Support venous return in venous insufficiency
Assist lymphatic drainage in select lymphedema cases
Improve comfort related to heaviness, tightness, or pressure
Support circulation during periods of limited mobility
IPC therapy is typically considered adjunctive, meaning it complements - not replaces - medical care.
Who May Be Considered
IPC systems are often explored by individuals experiencing:
Chronic edema not adequately controlled with garments alone
Venous insufficiency or post-thrombotic symptoms
Lymphedema under professional supervision
Reduced mobility or prolonged limb dependency
Post-surgical or post-procedural swelling (with clearance)
Individual response varies. Device selection, pressure settings and treatment duration matter.
ACWS Guidance Approach
Advanced Chronic Wound Solutions (ACWS) does not sell medical devices.
We provide clinical education and decision-support guidance to help individuals:
Understand whether IPC may be appropriate

Important Safety Notice
Do NOT use IPC systems without medical clearance if you have:
Known or suspected deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
Severe arterial disease
Active infection of the limb
Decompensated heart failure
Improper use can worsen underlying conditions.
Next Steps
Not sure if IPC therapy is appropriate for your situation?
A consultation can help determine whether intermittent pneumatic compression may be safe, appropriate, and beneficial before pursuing device acquisition.
