Description

The 6-chamber-system vasoflow® Comprimed

This system has its focal point in the treatment of venous oedema. Pneumatic pressurization combined with the gradient principle shows quick results. Gradient pressure generates a physiologically efficient pressure decline. Thus the fluid mobilized in the high pressure range (100%) may pass unhampered through the low pressure levels (80% and 60%). The concept of gradient intermittent compression is a result of extensive medical research. It was developed following the manufacturing of compression stockings and thrombosis stockings.

The Principle

In one compression cycle, a sleeve’s six chambers are filled with air in succession, ascending in a distal direction. Chambers 1 and 2 to 100%, chambers 3 and 4 to 80% and chambers 5 and 6 to 60% of the set pressure. All chambers remain filled with air until the last chamber has attained the desired pressure. The air is then released simultaneously from all six chambers, and after an interval the inflation cycle begins once again. Pressure gradient generates a smooth and gentle decongestion with an effect on tissue layers and vessels. The tissue is decongested, venous and lymphatic reflux promoted. It also brings a lasting improvement to metabolism and gas exchange.

The Treatment Sleeves

The up-to-date and easy-to-use treatment sleeves are produced in a special easy-care textile which is particularly kind to the skin. The sleeves are available for arms, legs and hip. They meet DIN EN ISO standards and thus pass strict biological tests. Arm and leg sleeves have a full-length zip which facilitates fitting and cleaning. The additional Velcro fastening allows an optimal adjustment to the thigh. The hip sleeve can be changed in size individually.
