Lymphedema Pump FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions About Lymphedema Pumps

2. Are lymphedema pumps safe for me to use?

Lymphedema pumps are generally safe for everyone but there are contraindications for their use. If you have any concerns or questions it is best to always express those to your primary care physician. Make sure that he or she knows every aspect of your condition so that they can make the choice for you with all of the information that they need. Also, speak with your doctor to ensure that your condition can be helped using a lymphedema pump and that there is no medical reason for you not to use one.
