Tactile Medical Launches Next-Generation Nimbl™ Lymphedema Platform
October 02 2024 - 7:00AM
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 for the treatment of upper
extremity lymphedema. Nimbl, which is significantly smaller and
lighter than previous device iterations, is indicated as a
treatment option for patients with both upper and lower extremity
lymphedema, chronic edema, venous insufficiency, and wound healing.
Nimbl received U.S Food & Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k)
clearance in June 2024 and Pricing, Data Analysis, and Coding
(PDAC) approval from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS) in September 2024. The Company expects to make Nimbl
commercially available for patients with lower extremity conditions
in the coming months.
“We are excited to announce the commercial
launch of Nimbl, an important addition to our leading portfolio of
patient-focused, clinically proven lymphedema therapy solutions,”
said Sheri Dodd, Chief Executive Officer at Tactile Medical. “This
first phase of Nimbl’s introduction, targeted specifically for
upper extremity treatment, is well-timed as we recognize Breast
Cancer Awareness Month and the many thousands of patients in need
of better treatment solutions. Up to 40% of breast cancer survivors
are affected by lifelong, debilitating lymphedema symptoms through
swelling and discomfort in the breast, trunk, arms, and hands, and
we are proud to provide a highly effective and convenient treatment
option. We look forward to expanding Nimbl’s launch to include
patients with lower extremity conditions, and we remain committed
to advancing solutions that increase patient access to therapy with
a differentiated user experience.”
Nimbl is 68% lighter, 40% smaller, and uses 33%
less hosing than the Company’s current generation basic pneumatic
compression device (PCD). Its compact design is the smallest PCD of
its kind, making it an ideal therapy for daily use at home or on
the go. In addition to the patient centric feature enhancements,
Nimbl also offers connectivity to the Company’s free Kylee™ digital
application, providing patients a simple way to track their usage
and change in symptoms, and to share results with their care team.
Convenient accessories are available for purchase including a
rechargeable battery and custom-designed travel bag.
“Patients and clinicians alike will appreciate
the introduction of Nimbl as a compelling treatment option designed
to increase adherence and improve clinical outcomes”, said Tony
Gasparis, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Tactile Medical. “Patients
can now more easily fit therapy into their daily routine resulting
in long-term relief and increased confidence for clinicians.”
