LymphaCARE and Intermittent Vacuum Therapy
LymphaCARE uses highly advanced technology known as the Intermittent Vacuum Therapy (IVT) which was originated from the space medicine of the American NASA. IVT applies alternating negative pressure (vacuum) and positive pressure to the lower extremities up to the abdomen. Physiologically this creates a rhythmic vascular dilation and compression and stimulates the “flow” in a natural, purely physical way.
The LymphaCARE device was developed by the Institute for Space Medicine of the Germany Aerospace Centre (DLR). The main areas of use are cardio-vascular stimulation (blood circulation) and revascularisation. IVT is also recognised as a modern, cost-effective therapy for lymph and lipo oedemas. It is also used to boost post-traumatic or post-operative rehabilitation and as pain therapy or sports recovery. Besides the treatment of the lower body, IVT is also available for the arms, neck and shoulders. High tolerance, high patient benefit and the positive effect on the profitability of the medical facility are documented.

Inspired by Space Medicine
The technological origin of IVT lies in the space medicine of the American NASA. In the weightlessness of the orbit the astronauts have to undergo a negative pressure treatment in an LBNPD (Lower Body Negative Pressure Device) every ten hours to avoid orthostatic complications. This is the only way to ensure sufficient blood circulation in the lower extremities in spite of a lack of gravity. The further development of the LBNPD is the LymphaCARE System. The device is available at different versions - VacuMed (medical and rehab), VacuSport (sports recovery and rehab) and VacuFit (health and beauty shape)
