Relieve symptoms of lymphoedema with LymphAssist Homecare system


T ere are more than 240,000 known lymphoedema suff erers in the UK. Doreen Buckley, 72, is just one of them


T e lymphatic system is probably best thought of as the body’s waste collec- tion system — taking damaged cells, tissue fl uid, bacteria, proteins and waste products out of the body. A common cause of lymphoedema


is from surgery for cancer treatment. T e symptoms of having lymphoe- dema can include swelling, thick- ening of the skin, ulcers, infection and loss of hair.


DOREEN’S STORY Doreen had suff ered from lymphoe- dema for over 40 years before she was correctly diagnosed with the condi- tion. Despite most doctors telling Doreen to simply ‘lose weight’, it was only when one successfully diagnosed the symptoms as lymphoedema that things started to improve for her. T e real breakthrough in alleviating


her day-to-day swelling happened when Doreen found out about a home treatment system called LymphA- ssist™ Homecare, from Huntleigh Healthcare, Cardiff Doreen said: “Home treatment


is making a huge diff erence to the swelling, and parts of my legs are eight centimetres slimmer than they ever were with bandages. I’m fi nding I get out and about to see my friends more too.”


T e LymphAssist Homecare compres- sion system from Huntleigh is the only product that’s been designed specifi - cally to complement your traditional treatment in the comfort of your own home. T e clinically proven and eff ec- tive LymphAssist Homecare system comprises two parts: a simple to use, single-key press pump and a range of 12 chamber infl atable garments or sleeves. Dr Jon Evans, Global Business


Unit manager at Huntleigh Health- care, says misdiagnosis and ineff ec- tive


treatment methods can have


a huge eff ect on the quality of life of the patients. Dr Evans said: “We fi nd that Inter-


mittent Pneumatic Compression (IPC) systems such as LymphAssist Home- care, which rely on sequential stimu- lation of the lymphatic system, can be the diff erence between someone being housebound with intense swelling, or out and about living their lives.”
