ENHANCED BLOOD FLOW: The Benefits?

Published on

Improved blood flow has many therapeutic and prophylactic benefits:

  • Promoting wound healing
  • Treatment of edema
  • Treatment of venous insufficiency
  • Treatment of ischemia
  • Reduction of infection*
  • Muscle recovery for elite athletes**
  • DVT prophylaxis
  • Prevention of edema
  • Positive biochemical changes* – D-dimer, fibrinolytic effect, endothelial function

A non-invasive device, the geko™ device, is proven to significantly and consistently increase blood flow. The geko™ device is capable of:

  • Up to 100% increase in venous return1
  • Up to 75% increase in arterial flow1
  • Up to 380% increase in microcirculation2
  • 60% of the blood flow achieved by consistently walking

Cost effective, pain free, with a high patient adherence, the geko™ device is easy to use and highly efficacious.
