Abstract

This first report on the use of the Wright linear pump and its successful application in the treatment of a child with Park-Weber syndrome indicates that sequenced linear pumping is efficacious when previously tried single cell intermittent compression fails. Programmable intermittent pressure in the management of lymphedema in children offers a preferable choice.
