Mechanical / Biomechanical (force to tissue)
Sequential Pneumatic Compression Route contactInvasiveness non-invasiveDirection additive
Widely deployed in recovery suites; a real mechanical (pressure) carrier, but no isolated longevity evidence was located.
Origin & lineage
Recovery-suite compression garments.
Claimed mechanism
Sequential inflatable compression drives venous/lymphatic return for recovery.
Plausibility
Plausible mechanical mechanism (real cleared use in lymphoedema); longevity/recovery benefit not isolated.
Evidence — grade C
Widely deployed in recovery suites; no isolated longevity evidence located.
