Pneumatic compression devices have seen a remarkable evolution in recent years with innovative designs and applications. This review explores the trends in pneumatic compression devices and their impact on patient outcomes. Pneumatic compression devices are widely used in various medical contexts, such as wound care, lymphedema management, and venous thromboembolism prevention. This review summarizes the findings of recent studies that investigate the effectiveness of these devices in improving patient outcomes. We discuss the evolving technology, clinical applications, and evidence of their impact on parameters like wound healing, edema reduction, and venous thromboembolism prevention. Through an analysis of the current literature, we aim to provide valuable insights for healthcare practitioners, policymakers, and researchers, emphasizing the significance of pneumatic compression devices in modern patient care.
