Ballancer® Pro Elite Lymphatic Body Compression Therapy

Ballancer utilizes 12 chambers per side that initially scan the body to determine the size and pressure points between both legs (one leg may be swollen or thinner, etc.). This allows Ballancer to deliver the correct pressure to each leg independently and simultaneously, even when one leg has more or less mass.

Then the Ballancer mimics Mother Nature by creating a fluid, continuous wave of pressure from the lower extremities upwards. Each air pocket has a sensor to determine when the next overlapping pocket begins to fill. This is the unique "wave" that is achieved only through Ballancer's patented 360 degree, overlapping, sensor-activated air pocket design. All other systems on the market use chamber sections that are much wider and cannot mimic a natural, fluid movement to achieve optimal flow of lymph fluid. This is why there are 12 hoses going into each leg.

Ballancer Pro is made in Israel by one of the world’s leading medical device manufacturers. They were the first to introduce compression therapy to the medical field 40 years ago. Their medical products are successfully used in hospitals worldwide.

The new Ballancer® Pro Model Elite is based on decades of medical research and offers the patented Pre-Therapy® cycle – a massage of the lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes in the proximal areas near the core of the body. This gentle, relaxing massage drains the lymph nodes that are generally filled with fluid first and paves the way for an enhanced circulation of lymph. As the sequence progresses, it begins the compression starting at the end of the lower extremities.

The unique Pre-Therapy cycle is a primer for the main treatment. It decongests the trunk first to maximize the results of the treatment session that follows – the Ballancer or Wave modes. As the sequence progresses, it begins the compression moving lower down the limb.

After the Pretreatment cycle, Ballancer® applies one of the selected peristaltic cycles: 

Wave cycle – long, deep, and slow peristaltic massage
Ballancer cycle – rapid, superficial and fast peristaltic caresses

Systems that exceed 80mm Hg – compression therapy should never go beyond your diastolic blood pressure for proper lymphatic stimulation;

Those that do not cover from your feet to sternum;

Those that do not allow you to lower the pressure for the entire system by increments of

1mm Hg – good control is necessary to meet sub-diastolic requirements;

Those that do not offer the final lymphatic movement of thoracic duct (above breast area) – upper body systems are key;

Those that do not offer 360 degree circumferential chambers – these are necessary to induce rhythm all the way around the leg;

Systems that feel like compression suits with pressure applied unevenly and simultaneously to the entire body – this is NOT lymphatic massage and is dangerous, with the possibility of severe pain and problems with fluid movement;

Systems with fewer than 24 total chambers in the leg or upper body suit – this causes interruptions in the upward movement of lymph fluids (due to the larger chambers used) which can cause lymph fluid to flow in the wrong direction.
