Tactile Medical is a leader in treatment options for lymphedema and venous ulcer therapies. Tactile Medical develops advanced home therapy devices to improve health and quality of life for patients with chronic swelling conditions. Headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, we advocate for patient access and serve tens of thousands of patients through a national network of product specialists and trainers, reimbursement experts, patient advocates, and clinical staff.


Tactile Medical was founded in 1995 by a certified lymphedema therapist dedicated to developing an effective home treatment for lymphedema. Eight years later, the Flexitouch^® System was launched and is now used by tens of thousands of patients with lymphedema, chronic edema or nonhealing venous ulcers. With the introduction of the ACTitouch^™ Adaptive Compression Therapy system for venous ulcers and the Entré^™ system for chronic swelling, Tactile Medical continues to advance the standard of care in treating chronic diseases at home.


Unlike device companies that sell through distributors, Tactile Medical works directly with clinicians, patients and health plans to provide outstanding, personalized customer service. Our staff includes specialists who advocate for product coverage, reimbursement experts who navigate the insurance authorization process and product specialists who provide in-clinic demonstrations and training.


Tactile Medical’s clinical evidence-based product support leverages the expertise of our Chief Medical Officer, Scientific Advisory Board and on-staff clinical specialists. In addition, we partner with medical centers of excellence, professional organizations and clinical experts to further the study and treatment of chronic diseases. Tactile Medical is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC) as a manufacturer and provider of advanced pneumatic compression therapy devices for the treatment of chronic diseases.
