Lymphedema Solutions


Lymphedema is a chronic disease that may result in pain, swelling, skin changes and a reduced quality of life that affects up to 20 million Americans each year, but often goes undiagnosed. We provide clinical education, support, and at-home therapy options specifically designed to treat lymphedema. Our pneumatic compression devices are clinically proven to reduce swelling and discomfort throughout the body, including, head, trunk, upper and lower body. Tactile Medical is dedicated to improving the lives of people with lymphedema and returning them to their everyday joys.

Respiratory Solutions


Chronic respiratory conditions and neuromuscular disorders can make it harder for the lungs to clear mucus. Changes in the airways—such as swelling or inflammation—can cause mucus to stick, and for people with neuromuscular disorders, weak cough muscles may prevent mucus from being cleared at all. When mucus can’t move, it can build up over time, leading to chronic cough, infection, and flare‑ups. AffloVest is a comfortable, effective, and connected airway clearance therapy that helps gently loosen and move mucus so it can be cleared more easily—helping people breathe easier and stay engaged in daily life, at home or on the go.
