Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) is a condition in which the veins have problems sending blood from the legs back to the heart. Normally, valves in your deeper leg veins keep blood moving forward toward the heart. With long-term CVI, vein walls are weakened and valves are damaged. This causes the veins to stay filled with blood, which can lead to swelling in the feet and legs, varicose veins, and venous ulcers.
Venous Pump Treatment (PCD)
Consists of an air pump and garment(s) that fits over the legs. The pump delivers air to the garment, creating a massaging action and gently compression to the feet and legs to stimulate circulation and move accumulated fluid. Pressure and the subsequent effectiveness of the treatment can be gradually increased as the patient becomes more tolerant.

“If it weren’t for BioTAB and the pump, I wouldn’t be able to get down and crawl with my 7-month-old son. I work 16 hour days, and it allows me the time to come home, turn on the pump and get treatment while spending time at home with my family.”

“I have tried several different pumps in the past and did not get the same results as I did with BioTAB’s lymphedema pump. It’s effective and easy to use.”

“The pump I had previously was too difficult and time consuming to use. Fastening all of its Velcro straps made it a 2-person job. My new pump from BioTAB is so easy to use, I can do it by myself and the garments material stay much cleaner. Now I am not worried whether I am setting up everything correctly and can relax and enjoy therapy.”
