Suction Pumps

The League was happy to fund scar suction pumps for the Hand Therapy department. These are used following injuries or surgery where there is scarring which causes superficial adhesions and limits movement. The pump helps to release the adhesions and improves the range of movement. The pumps have been incredibly useful for dealing with tight scars that have become stiff/stuck, allowing the therapist to get a good grip on the scar and move it about. This has aided many post surgical patients who experience difficulties managing their scars.
