A Clinical Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of a Novel Portable Non-Pneumatic Active Compression Device vs. an Advanced Pneumatic Compression Device for Treating Lower Extremity Lymphedema

A Multi-center Randomized Control Cross-over Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of a Novel Portable Non-Pneumatic Active Compression Device vs. an Advanced Pneumatic Compression Device for Treating Lower Extremity Lymphedema (TEAYS)

To evaluate the Koya wearable device - a Novel Portable Non-Pneumatic Active Compression Device (NPCD) in contrast to an advanced pneumatic compression device (APCD)

A Multi-center Randomized Control Single Cross-over Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of Dayspring, a Novel Portable Non-Pneumatic Active Compression Device (NPCD) vs. an Advanced Pneumatic Compression Device (APCD) for Treating Lower Extremity Lymphedema. To evaluate the Dayspring, a Novel Portable Non-Pneumatic Active Compression Device (NPCD) in contrast to an advanced pneumatic compression device (APCD) in a multi-centered setting to evaluate volume, quality of life, safety, adherence, and preference.

Inclusion Criteria:
