The system utilizes sequential pneumatic compression to optimize lymphatic drainage and enhance venous circulation. Distinctive characteristics: 8 independent chambers, pressure range 30-240 mmHg, sequential and progressive compression modes, modular full-body garment configurations, intuitive user interface, high durability. Summary: Presso+ is a premium professional device with exceptional revenue potential (3-5 patients/day) and well-documented clinical efficacy.
Key Features
Presso+ offers several distinctive advantages:
8 independent chambers
each leg/arm = 4 chambers (ankle, lower calf, upper calf, thigh OR wrist, lower forearm, upper forearm, upper arm). Enables flexible programming, selective deflation, highly physiological pressure gradient.
Pressure range 30-240 mmHg
comprehensive range covering all indications: 30-60 mmHg = maintenance, prevention. 60-120 mmHg = venous insufficiency, heavy legs. 120-180 mmHg = lymphedema, post-surgical. 180-240 mmHg = severe specialized cases. Complete protocol flexibility.
Sequential AND progressive compression modes
sequential mode = chambers inflate independently in distal-to-proximal order, creating gradient (optimal lymphatic drainage, natural venous gradient). Progressive mode = all chambers increase pressure simultaneously (more comfortable, suitable for extreme sensitivity, maintenance protocols). Operator selects mode per protocol.
Modular full-body garment configurations
leg boots (standard), arm sleeves (separate), optional abdominal/pelvic wrap. Enables localized or full-body treatment. Patients can treat legs AND arms in same session (8-chamber limit if two zones).
Modern touchscreen interface
control via touchscreen display, pre-programmed protocols (heavy legs, lymphedema, post-operative, sports recovery, cellulite). Operator can customize programs (pressure, duration, mode). Patient data recording: session history, treatment efficacy tracking.
Silent compressor
noise <65 dB (comfortable for patient and operator). Filtered air supply (hygiene standard). Integrated cooling system (equipment longevity).
Patient safety
pressure sensors confirm proper chamber inflation. Alarm if malfunction. Easily accessible emergency stop. Automatic session documentation.
Technology Overview
Presso+ utilizes advanced pneumatic technology:
High-performance air compressor
capacity ~30-50 L/min, delivers stable pressure up to 240 mmHg even with all 8 chambers inflated simultaneously. Silent AC/DC motor, energy efficiency (consumption ~200-300W).
Pneumatic valve system
individual solenoid valves per chamber control air flow IN/OUT. Ultra-precise timing (±1 mmHg pressure accuracy). Rapid inflation/deflation response (<100 ms).
Pressure sensors
digital sensors per chamber measure real-time actual pressure. Closed-loop feedback ensures programmed pressure is maintained precisely. Prevents over-pressurization.
Tubing system
garment combinations (boots/sleeves) use high-quality silicone pneumatic tubing (durability 1000+ hours usage). Quick-disconnect connectors facilitate garment changes.
Programmable control
integrated microcomputer manages complex cycles. Gives therapist precise parameter control: inflation timing (0.1-10 seconds), deflation timing (0.1-10 seconds), inter-cycle rest (0.1-10 seconds), maximum pressure (1-240 mmHg).
Operating modes
classic sequential (distal-to-proximal), progressive (simultaneous), mixed (certain chambers sequential, others progressive).
Optional modules
integrated camera for before/after clinical photo documentation, integrated tape measure for leg volume assessment (swelling measurement), patient display interface (patient can monitor their own results).

Frequently Asked Questions
Financial analysis: Presso+ cost ~12,000-15,000€. Generate revenue from 3-5 patients/day at 35-50€/session = 105-250€/day revenue. With 22 working days/month = 2,310-5,500€/month revenue. Operating costs (tubing, maintenance) ~200€/month. Net ROI ~2,100-5,300€/month = payback in 6-8 months (very rapid). Break-even <1 year. Then pure profit.
Minimum: 2-3 days/week drainage treatment practice can justify investment (reduced volume but effective). Ideal: 4-5 days/week practice with drainage/venous or integrated aesthetic clientele. Specialized lymphology/drainage clinic = maximum profitability. Solo practitioner: possible with moderate financing option. Group practice: very straightforward (patient overflow).
Short training 4-8 hours sufficient: basic equipment handling, launching programs, adjusting pressure, patient monitoring. Understanding clinical indications (pathology) = required but can come from continuing education after. Presso+ distributor provides initial training + manuals. Optional certification if desired (external resources). Strict medical training not required per Class II-a regulation (operator can be nurse, esthetician, physiotherapist).
Minimal maintenance. Annual inspection recommended (verify valves, sensor function, tubing integrity). Verification cost ~200-300€/year. Tubing replacement (~every 200-300h usage): ~100-150€ per boot and sleeve pair. Replacement parts rarely needed (high durability). Distributor provides technical support. Compared to laser/RF equipment (complex expensive maintenance) = excellent value.
No, complementary. Pneumatic compression = effective mechanical drainage technique, very useful for volume treatment. Manual drainage = fine-tuning, specialized expertise. Optimum: Presso+ as primary drainage + manual drainage 1-2x/month for complex cases or plateaued results. Practice can combine both = very competitive positioning.
Realistic: 3-5 patients/day (30-40 min sessions). Rare >6/day (equipment overload). Patient time slot: 35-50 min = 3 patients in 3 hours (morning for example). Ideal: 2-3 patients morning + 2 patients afternoon = 4-5 per day. Saturday option for increased volume.
Presso+: specialized pneumatic compression, 8 chambers, optimal efficacy for drainage/lymphedema/venous applications. Cost ~12,000-15,000€. Ideal for drainage-specialized clinic. BodyPerfect III: 5-in-1 (vacuum, massage, light therapy, heating, aspiration), highly versatile. Cost ~9,000-12,000€. Ideal for general aesthetic practice. Choice = depends on specialization focus. Drainage/lymphology = Presso+. General aesthetics = BodyPerfect III.
