CLINICAL EVALUATION OF THE MASMAN PRESSURE UNIT IN THE REDUCTION OF LIMB OEDEMA1

A clinical evaluation of the Masman Pressure Unit (M.P.U.) was undertaken in the Physiotherapy Department of Sydney Hospital to determine whether or not the M.P.U. was effective in reducing limb oedema. The study also investigated the pressures necessary to reduce oedema, the duration of treatment necessary, the duration of oedema relief, and how often treatment was necessary.
