PRODUCTNEWS VasoCARE offers new technology VasoCARE LLC provides new device technology for treating and managing peripheral vascular conditions such as arterial foot ulcers and/or claudication limb pain.
DISUSE MUSCLE ATROPHY
It may be time to rethink how calf muscle pump dysfunction due to disuse muscle atrophy affects blood flow in the lower extremities and the healing of diabetic foot ulcers or reducing claudication limb pain. Physicians are frustrated with off-loading when treating diabetic foot ulcers since offloading devices fix the ankle at 90⁰ which leads to calf muscle pump dysfunction along with impacting the circulation in the lower limbs. Inactivity of the calf muscle pump results in a 47 percent decrease in venous outflow, 13 percent in heart rate and reduced arterial inflow to the legs.
Enhancing quality of home care with advanced technology to treat lymphedema, venous stasis ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, and claudication limb pain.
SOLUTION
The VeinOPlus Vascular device utilizes the latest in neuromuscular electrical stimulation to emit a specific electrical signal every second which recruits the calf muscle fibers. Each impulse causes the calf muscle to contract much like what happens during the act of walking. Studies show each impulse causes venous outflow to be increased 7 times, peripheral vascular resistance is lowered by 35%, and arterial inflow is increased 4 times. One hour of therapy is like the patients has taken 3,600 steps. Studies show two to three hours of daily therapy with the VeinOPlus Vascular device increases foot temperature 2⁰ or more, improves ankle/brachial index 5% or greater, and increases absolute walking distance in claudicants 90% which clearly confirms the increase in arterial inflow so needed in the healing of diabetic foot ulcers and reducing pain in claudicants. The VeinOPlus Vascular device therapy weighs 24 grams, battery powered, and the therapy is pain-free. Patients appreciate the portability and ease of use. The VeinOPlus Vascular device offers a new solution in treating arterial insufficiency. It’s about improving blood flow! Pocket size. Safe. Easy to use. No risk of ischemia. Positive results. VT N
