application, the doctor's recommendation should be followed. The treatment
should last for at least 20 minutes, however. Any medical use should, of course,
be supervised by a doctor.
The shape and type of cuff used is important. Due to the proven importance of
the draining of the vein network in the sole, the cuff should cover both the entire
leg and the foot.
The rhythmic increase and decrease in pressure on the tissue leads to water
and protein being pumped out of the interstitial tissue.
If the patient has a medical indication, a compression dressing should be ap-
plied or a surgical stocking should be worn after using the IPC as the residual
protein causes blood serum to flow from the capillaries into the tissue after an
IPC treatment session. This measure prevents this flow occurring. Alternatively,
it is possible to remain in a lying position so as to prevent this subsequent flow of
blood serum. So when using the equipment at home, it makes sense to perform
the treatment before bedtime.
Brief description
The
is a system comprising a control unit and two
double-walled leg cuffs with three interior chambers which also cover the feet
and soles. Optional cuff extensions can be used in order to enlarge the circum-
ference of the cuffs.
The control unit feeds air into the chambers of the leg cuffs via connection tubes.
This enables controlled pressure to be applied so as to pump up the cuffs gently
and/or massage the legs.
What you can expect from the
In addition to its function, with the
, as with all our
products, we attach particular importance to user safety. We ensure through
design features that the pressure that the cuffs place on the leg cannot exceed
120 mmHg. A higher pressure may have an effect on the arterial blood supply.
Even if parts of the device should be defective or not working properly, this
pressure cannot be exceeded.
