Tactile Medical Expands Launch of Nimbl™ to Include Patients with Lower Extremity Lymphedema
February 04 2025 - 8:00AM
Tactile Systems Technology, Inc. (“Tactile Medical”; the “Company”)
(Nasdaq: TCMD), a medical technology company providing therapies
for people with chronic disorders, today announced that Nimbl, its
next-generation pneumatic compression platform, is now commercially
available throughout the United States (U.S.) for the treatment of
both upper and lower extremity lymphedema. Nimbl’s expanded
availability to include lower extremity conditions
(“phlebolymphedema”) follows its commercial introduction in October
2024, initially focused on treating patients suffering from upper
extremity lymphedema.
“On the heels of Nimbl’s launch for patients
with upper extremity swelling, we are pleased to now expand access
to the 16 million Americans with chronic swelling in the lower
extremities,” said Sheri Dodd, Chief Executive Officer at Tactile
Medical. “These patients require effective, convenient therapies to
help manage their symptoms. With Nimbl, they now have access to a
solution which embodies patient-focused innovation and reflects our
commitment to serving patients and improving their care
experience.”
Nimbl is the smallest pneumatic compression
device (PCD) of its kind, featuring a compact controller that is
68% lighter and 40% smaller than the Company’s current generation
PCD. The lower extremity garment uses 94% less hosing, making the
device easy to transport and manage. Nimbl is the only basic PCD
with Bluetooth® connectivity, providing patients a way to track
their treatments and symptom progress with the Company’s free
Kylee™ digital application.
“Nimbl for lower extremity lymphedema is
intentionally designed as a user-friendly, patient-centric
treatment option that is comfortable, clinically effective, and
optimized for increased adherence,” said Tony Gasparis, MD,
Chief Medical Officer at Tactile Medical. “Its physical
dimensions and significant reduction in hose length afford patients
the ability to more easily transport Nimbl around the home, or take
it with them when traveling, providing an improved all around
patient experience.”
