2 Intended Use

The Endopress 442 is a unit for compression therapy. The Endopress 442 system works with

pneumatic leg and arm garments for a non-invasion treatment of lymph edema, insufficiencies

of the veins, and some chronic not-healing wounds and ulcers.

The segments of the garments fill up with air whereby the compression rises in the arm or leg to

the adjusted pressure.

The use of ENDOPRESS 442 is reserved for operators such as physiatrists, physiotherapists

and pain therapists, that, by their training, provide assurance of proper use and safe for the

patient.

In fact, the operator must be appropriately qualified and he carefully studied the contents of the

user manual in order to use the device; or, he must operate under the supervision of a health

professional adequately qualified to use the machine, able to understand the benefits and the

limits of therapy and to work in conditions of safety for the person undergoing treatment.

This machine can be used in a hospital or outpatient setting, provided it is used by qualified

personnel and in compliance with what is stated in the user manual.

2.1 The Lymphatic System

A basic function of the lymphatic system is to supervise the maintenance of correct water tissue

balance: this action is conducted on the lymph in order to purify it from the substances

“collected” by it on the outside, and then send it back into circulation ready to perform its

functions.

This action tends to develop in places where excessive “liquid stagnation” in tissues is signalled

for various reasons.

The lymphatic system is structurally similar to the more well-known venous system. It actually

follows it branching out into peripheral channels and collection “centers” distributed at various

levels.

The surface lymph vessels differ from the deeper ones in the lower limbs.

The surface vessels run along the surface and give origin to a rich lymphatic network distributed

on the plantar and dorsal surfaces of the feet. The deeper vessels accompany the deep blood

vessels and collect the lymph that comes from the muscles and the bones of the lower limbs.

The surface lymph vessels converge in the inguinal lymph nodes that are at the surface in the

fold of the groin area.

Points of highest concentration of lymph nodes

(Elbows, knees and along the collar are slightly less).

The arrows show the direction of lymph flow.

The deep lymphatics meet the anterior tibial lymph nodes along their path, situated in the higher,

anterior part of the leg, and the lymph nodes of the popliteal cavity (4-5 in number), situated on the

posterior face of the knee. They then reach the deep inguinal lymph nodes that are located deep in

the inguinal area.

In addition to the superficial lymph vessels of the lower limb, the surface inguinal lymph nodes (18-

20 in number) collect the lymphatics of the buttocks, perineum, the anus, the external genital organs,

and lower part of the abdomen. In addition to the deep popliteal lymphatic vessels, the deep inguinal

lymph nodes (2-3 in number) mostly collect what comes from the surface inguinal lymph nodes.

The largest of these lymph nodes is called the Cloquet lymph node and is located higher up and

deeper down than the others, extruding therefore into the abdominal cavity. Main Groups of lymph

nodes of the lower limbs

2.1.1 Main groups of lymph nodes of the lower limbs

These lymph node centers of the lower limbs are very important in the functioning of the whole

system, as they act as collection tanks, and also purify the lymph coming from the lower limbs. The

lymph stays in these centers as long as necessary to be filtered, i.e. purified, and is then poured

back into the renal system with increase of diuresis. This increase of the diuresis is often

encountered after therapy with pressure systems (massage pressure therapy) and confirms

activation of the lymphatic system mechanisms in the lower limb tissues.

2.1.2 General Concepts of lymphatic circulation Casley-Smith Pump

Lymphatic circulation is not just a system that intervenes in cases of “over fullness” but also permits

the rapid absorption of proteins and colloids.

Thanks to the lymphatic system, large or insoluble plasmatic protein molecules that cannot normally

be reabsorbed by the venous system are reintroduced into the blood circulation.

The molecules pass the capillary membrane in a manner that is inversely proportional to their

weight: the amount of albumin is higher in lymph, which has a lower molecular weight than globulin.

Of course variations of the capillary permeability caused by increase in intercapillary hydrostatic

pressure or toxic-anoxic factors for example, mean that there is an increase in that transfer, in a

modification of the lymph flow or its composition.

For further clarification, we provide Rossing’s findings on the matter:

1. the intravascular masses of albumin and immunoglobulin depend on the amount of synthesis

and the amount of fractionated catabolism;

2. The ratios of intravascular masses to the total masses depend on the amount of

transcapillary escape and on the amount of extravascular return;

3. the amount of transcapillary escapes are inversely related to the molecular weights of the

proteins; the amount of transcapillary escape increases with the filtration pressure in the

vessels, i.e. with the loss at micro vessel level, as seen in diabetes mellitus;

4. the amount of extravascular return reflects the lymphatic protein transport and is inverse to

the extravascular transit time. It is of the same magnitude for albumin, lg.G, and perhaps a

bit less for lg.M;

5. the extravascular transit time includes a wide series of transit times: short (liver, kidneys,

lungs), long (skin, muscles, with maximum deposit of extravascular proteins);

6. in most cases of hypoproteinemia, the amount of intravascular/extravascular plasmatic

protein distribution changes in favor of the intravascular space;

7. the extravascular pathological build-up of plasmatic protein occurs in a few diseases, and

when the transcapillary escape increases without a corresponding increase in the amount of

lymphatic return. This can be seen in cirrhosis with ascites, in untreated myxedema and in

some types of cancer, particularly those with hepatopathy and ascites. If anything, the

extravascular build-up of plasmatic protein will occur in the tumoral and post-operative tissue

in the wounds.

The main function of the lymphatic system is therefore to allow its penetration by the previously

mentioned molecules, prevent escape, and encourage progression.

By way of the capillary filtration, protein molecules and water are plentiful in blood circulation,

thus causing a build-up of liquids osmotically linked to the protein in the interstitial tissue.

The liquid leads to an imbibition of the tissue, stretching the endothelial cells of the initial

lymphatics and further opening the lymphatic interendothelial junctions.

Other movements intervene in keeping the junctions “open”:

• muscular movement;

• rhythmic contractions of the arterial vessels

• the negative intrathoracic pressure;

• the cells and any other elementary corpuscles that are pushed through the open

junctions in the initial lymphatics. During their transit, these corpuscles act like dilators,

keeping the passage free through the junction of the initial capillary lumen. In the most

active areas of the body, the products of cellular metabolism increase blood flow and the

capillary permeability, so liquid contained in the interstitial tissue increases further, and

its pressure keeps the input routes accessible to the lymphatic capillaries.

An increase in local tissue pressure follows this initial stage, caused by muscular contraction

that compresses the initial lymphatics, and therefore pushing the lymph to close the intercellular

junctions. In this phase, a certain quantity of water spreads out from the lymphatics and the

lymph itself becomes more concentrated than the interstitial liquid.

The higher compression releases the system from fibrils attached to the lymphatic endothelium.

The lymphatics that have been compressed like this will obviously be smaller with lower

diameters, being adhesive endothelial cells and therefore overlapping with the junctions

hermetically closed.

At this point, the third phase begins: a further compression on the initial lymphatics pushes the

lymph through the first valve, the sudden lowering of pressure means that the lymphatics

expand again, and the intercellular junctions open up again.

This mechanism is called the “CASLEY-SMITH lymphatic pushing pump”. Intercellular lymphatic

junctions have been defined as “aspiration valves” while the first lymphatic valve is known as

the “escape valve”.

The initial lymphatics comprise several aspirations and pushing pumps whose function is not

strictly mechanical but can be adapted to different needs.

2.1.3 Importance of pressure between Lymphatic and Interstitial space

Mc Master measured the pressure values both of lymphatic capillaries, and of the interstitial

space, finding:

• Lymphatic capillary pressure = 0.7 +/- 0.3 cm. H2O.

• Interstitial space pressure = 1.9 +/- 0.5 cm. H2O.

This pressure difference explains the direction of liquid flow and of the protein molecules of the

blood capillaries to the interstitial tissue, and of the interstitial tissue to the lymphatic capillaries.

The difference found (0.3 +/- 0.5 cm. H2O), clearly shows how much pressure variation is

needed to start up the lymph. In pathological conditions, if there is an increase in interstitial

pressure, the difference will be higher. This explains the increase in production of lymph in the

presence of edema. The variation in absorption potential also holds importance at the frontier-

zone between the basic substance and the lymphatic capillary.

The propulsion of lymph is therefore mainly due to the gradient generated between a zone of

higher pressure and a zone of lower pressure. For the entire lymphatic cycle, many other

mechanisms contribute to the progression of lymph, that carry greater or lesser importance (as

previously mentioned). Among these are the structures of the lymphatic vessel walls and the

unidirectional valves which are also antigravitational mechanisms (with the lymph nodes).

The speed of progression of the lymph varies widely according to the various zones, the

functional situation, and according to whether there are any obstacles to normal flow.

5.8 Pressure Settings

The Endopress 442 guarantees the full control of the pressure applied. It allows the operator to set

different maximum pressure values for each cell, or the “Overall” setting can be used to set the same

value for all segments.

These values will be defined by the operator by examining the patient’s medical history and making

an objective analysis.

There are two different pressures settings for the protocols;

• The gradient method whereby the garment is divided in 3 zones.

o Zone 1 - 100% , Zone 2 - 80%, Zone 3 - 60%

• The linear method whereby the pressure equal is in all cells. (100%)

CAUTION

• Pressure therapy must be carried out by applying the correct pressure fields and not

interfering with the physiology of arterial, venous or lymphatic circulation (which is why

the arms and legs are constructed in a herringbone structure with partially overlapping

sectors). The maximum level of pressure applied to the patient is also a very important

parameter. In certain cases, this value must be kept very low (for example if the

pressure therapy is used for physiological massage on patients for whom other types of

active or passive movement is impractical). The value can be higher in other applications

such as anti-cellulite applications.

• The Endopress 442 can supply a maximum pressure of 150 mmHg per segment.

Treatments are normally carried out between pressures of 40 and 80 mmHg. Higher

pressures can only be used in special cases under strict medical supervision.

• The operator should limit the pressure applied in order to avoid opposing arterial flow
