Rapid scanning of localized and regional lymphedema
LymphScanner
The only device for rapid detection of localized lymphedema and tracking of treatment interventions of chronic lymphedema.
LymphScanner – Lymphedema detection and assessment (PWC)
The LymphScanner is a non-invasive hand-held device intended to measure localized percentage water content (PWC) in lymphedema of human skin after surgery for breast cancer or gynecological cancers. The device integrating the main unit and the easily cleaned measurement probe can be used to aid in forming a clinical judgement of skin edema at any soft tissue site of the body by a health care professional. The measurement results are displayed in seconds after applying the measurement probe on the skin surface.
Measuring the percentage water content (PWC) of the tissue is useful in early detection of lymphedema and in follow-up of lymphedema treatments. PWC values vary by measurement site and thus a measurement method capable of rapid skin scanning helps lymphologists and therapists to get spatial information on the regional extent of lymphedema.
LymphScanner is a CE marked medical device (CE0537). FDA clearance 510(k).

FAQs
LymphScanner measures localized tissue water content to detect and monitor lymphedema. Using tissue dielectric constant (TDC) technology, it provides results as percentage water content (PWC), enabling fast and reliable evaluation of swelling in skin and subcutis.

LymphScanner is based on tissue dielectric constant (TDC) technology, which measures how electromagnetic waves interact with tissue. This non-invasive principle allows repeatable and accurate tissue water measurement without the need for gels or disposables.

Unlike tape measurement or water displacement, which provide only limb volume changes, LymphScanner enables localized lymphedema assessment at specific sites. This makes it possible to detect subtle or early edema, and it can be used to locate the onset sites of edema that traditional methods might miss.
LymphScanner is used by clinicians, researchers, and therapists in oncology, lymphology, and rehabilitation by health care professionals. It supports both research studies on edema and routine clinical practice for tracking treatment progress with lymphedema patients.
Yes. LymphScanner is particularly useful for BCRL assessment, allowing clinicians to detect early changes in arm tissue water after surgery or radiotherapy. This supports timely interventions that improve long-term patient outcomes.
