Who We Are
Decades of Expertise Dedicated to Compression Therapy
Established in 1962 by Kibbutz Afek (Western Galilee, Israel), the company initially specialized in industrial pressure gauges. In 1978, it entered the medical field, applying its pressure expertise to develop pneumatic compression therapy systems.
Today, we deliver compression solutions for lymphatic, vascular, aesthetic, and sports recovery applications — supporting conditions such as lymphedema, venous insufficiency, DVT risk, edema, and non-healing wounds, while also enhancing recovery and tissue health.
By combining medical expertise, long-term clinical experience, and user-centered design, we create compression therapy solutions that balance effectiveness, comfort, and ease of use — for both patients and healthcare professionals.
With decades of hands-on experience in research, development, and manufacturing, Mego Afek continuously evolves its technology to meet real clinical needs across medical, wellness, aesthetic, and performance-focused environments. We work closely with clinicians, therapists, aesthetic professionals, and sports practitioners world-wide to deliver reliable, clinically proven pneumatic compression systems that can be used confidently in both professional and home-care settings.
Driven by innovation and guided by experience, our mis-sion is simple: to improve health, recovery, well-being, and quality of life through trusted compression therapy solutions.
