Original article presented at: International Lymphodema Framework (ILF) Conference. 2021. Copenhagen, Denmark and Journal of Wound Care. 2022

3 Nile

Safety and Effectiveness of a Novel Non-Pneumatic Active Compression Device for Treating Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema, a Multi-Center Randomized, Crossover Trial (NILE)

Dayspring was found to be more effective than an APCD
Significantly greater adherence (95.6% vs. 49.8%), and greater satisfaction (90% vs. 14%)
Significantly greater mean reduction in edema volume(64.6% vs. 27.7%) and mean improvements in LYMQOL

7 Sma

Active Wearable Compression with Shape Memory Actuators for Treating Chronic Edema

Comparison and characterization of compression between NPCD and APCD
Both NPCD and APCD provide comparable compression pressure ranges
NPCD appears to provide more uniform compression than APCD
Potential for SMA-based NPCD to address current treatment challenges for chronic edema
