The Flowtron Compression Therapy System

The Flowtron is a name clinicians and home users trust for intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) — the pump-and-garment therapy used to improve venous and lymphatic circulation in the legs and arms. If you or a patient is managing lymphedema, chronic venous insufficiency, or the elevated risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) that comes with limited mobility or post-surgical recovery, this is the equipment category worth understanding before you buy.

At its core, a Flowtron system pairs a control pump with an inflatable garment or sleeve. The pump cycles air through chambers in the garment, gently squeezing the limb in a controlled sequence to push stagnant fluid and blood back toward the heart. That rhythmic action is what makes IPC effective where compression stockings alone fall short — it actively moves fluid rather than simply holding it in place.

Matching the System to the Therapy

The right setup depends on what you're treating. DVT prophylaxis in a hospital or recovery setting typically calls for calf or foot garments run in shorter, prevention-focused cycles. Managing lymphedema or venous ulcers usually means multi-chamber sleeves that deliver a sequential, gradient wave along the whole limb. When you shop, the questions that matter most are the pressure range, the number of chambers, and whether the garment covers the affected area — foot, calf, full leg, or arm. Sizing the sleeve correctly is as important as the pump itself, since a garment that doesn't fit won't deliver even compression.

For single-limb sequential lymphedema therapy at home or in the clinic, take a closer look at the Flowtron Hydroven 1, a focused option within this range.

Whether you're a caregiver setting up daily home treatment or a facility standardizing DVT prevention, choosing a Flowtron means investing in a well-established compression platform with garment options built to grow with the patient's needs.
