Compression therapy devices

Compression therapy is a technique for treating varicose veins and lymphostasis of the extremities. The process involves therapeutic or preventive periodic compression of the limb with the help of special devices. Special knitwear and compression therapy apparatus are used for the better effect of the procedure

Compression treatment: features

The therapy is based on the principle of creating external pressure on the venous-lymphatic system. This causes a decrease in the diameter of the compressed vessels and an increase in blood flow. Thanks to the technique, the risk of blood clots is reduced. Advantages of the technique:

• reduction of pathologic reflux;

• improvement of venous blood flow, lymphatic outflow;

• elimination of lymphostasis, edema, pain;

• anti-inflammatory effect.

Compression therapy provides treatment with elastic textiles and medical devices. Knitted circular and flat knitted fabrics are made depending on the needs of patients and the level of pressure.  Special devices are designed to affect blood vessels and the lymphatic system.

What are compression devices

Textile products have been replaced by hardware techniques. Special medical equipment is used to treat venous pathologies, diseases of the lymphatic system, and cosmetic procedures. The operation of the devices is based on the principle of action:

1. Intermittent, pneumatic compression therapy. The devices rhythmically stimulate the muscles in a certain sequence. The procedure is carried out using air pressure, which contributes to the removal of excess fluid, harmful substances, and normal circulation of lymph.

2. Vacuum-compression therapy. The equipment assumes an impact on the limb through a special vacuum cylinder. The specialist sets and runs an individual treatment program. During the procedure, there is an alternation of increased and decreased pressure.

Foot pumps have been developed for bedridden patients. Due to its high power, the device imitates the natural sequence of venous flow. The system prevents thrombosis, reduces pain and swelling.

Modern compression devices are equipped with additional functions that significantly increase the effectiveness of the technique. The supply of cold or hot air relieves pain, tension, and improves the work of the circulatory system. The possibility of automatic adjustment of the device in accordance with the individual requirements of the patient maximizes the volume of blood flow.
