| The
BIOARTERIAL PLUS is an Intermittent, Sequential, Pneumatic
Compression System that sequentially compresses both the foot
and calf in patients suffering primarily from diabetic foot ulcers
or intermittent claudication (leg pain primarily from decreased
arterial circulation). The BIOARTERIAL PLUS SYSTEM
is designed to deliver bilateral pressures of 120mmHg (almost 3
times the pressure of most DVT systems) for two to three treatments
per day. The BIOARTERIAL PLUS SYSTEM increases arterial blood flow
in both the popliteal artery and at the tissue level. Substantial
blood flow increases were realized through duplex ultrasonic imaging
of the popliteal artery following treatment with the BIOARTERIAL
PLUS . Through bilateral compression, resultant evacuation of venous
blood from the lower limbs, enables replacement with substantial
volumes of oxygenated arterial blood. |
