A-V Foot Pump LBTK-M-I 1000



What is A-V Foot Pump?


The A-V Foot Pump is a device designed to improve venous return and arterial flow with intermittent, pneumatic impulse compression on the upper and lower extremity. The A-V Foot Pump belongs to the group of IPC devices. However, it has the unusual feature of intermittent, pulsed compression. This means that the pressure is applied to the venous plexus via a foot or hand pad within a period of no more than 0.2 seconds. It is equally suitable for specialist staff in hospitals as well as for application at home, with the patient or his relatives using the system themselves. 




How Does A-V Foot Pump Work and Why Is It so Effective?


The A-V Foot Pump system works on clinically proven Impulse Technology (FIT). This unique method applies a strong air impulse towards the vein plexus in your foot. This vein plexus is directly connected to the deep leg veins, the place where the most dangerous DVTs occur. In contrary, compression from outside (calf or leg) has to be transferred through the leg tissue to be directly acting on the veins. The strong impulse creates a fast flush of the blood through the leg veins towards the heart, as while walking with full weight bearing. This so called Impulse Technology is proven to be as effective in preventing DVTs as the most common drug (LMWH) in high risk patients, but without increasing the risk of bleeding or having any other side effects. The A-V Foot Pump impulse technology is proven to be the most efficient method to eliminate stasis among all available devices.
