Introduction

Too much sitting, too much standing, the wrong diet: according to consistent

estimates, 20 % of all Europeans suffer from venous leg complaints and more

than half are affected by advanced vein problems.

This global lifestyle disease starts off harmlessly with a tingling sensation in

the legs. The legs then become heavy, swollen and tired, and spider veins and

varicose veins begin to appear.

How does a venous disorder occur? Veins collect the used blood in the body’s

tissue and transport it back to the heart. Leg muscles and venous valves tense

up and relax, thus acting like a pump to transport the blood in the veins upwards

to the heart. However, if a person stands or sits for a long time, or if excess

strain due to surplus weight or genetic predisposition leads to congestion, the

blood cannot ﬂ ow away properly and the venous walls become overstretched.

Swollen legs are the result: these can form an oedema due to the fact that liquid

and protein pass through the slackened venous wall and into the tissue. A doc-

tor should be consulted as a matter of urgency when such venous congestion

becomes a continual complaint.

Special devices for alternating compression of the extremities have proved

highly effective and time-saving in treating venous problems, as well as in com-

bating lipoedema.

The

is such a device. It has been developed in

close collaboration with medical specialists (phlebologists) and is easy to han-

dle.

The legs are lightly massaged by the

using an

inﬂ ating and deﬂ ating air cushion which simulates the pumping effect of the leg

muscles experienced during walking exercises. Venous reﬂ ux is improved so

that accumulated ﬂ uid is mobilised and can be ﬂ ushed out.

The IPC principle

Intermittent (alternating) compression which is not generated through manual

massage but rather by a device, is known in medicine as intermittent pneumatic

compression, or IPC. It uses the principle of pneumatic alternating pressures.

It is prescribed by doctors for the treatment of venous or lymphatic diseases.

When used to prevent thrombosis or for sports injuries, it does not involve the

risks found in medication-based treatment.

The IPC simulates the function of the natural muscle pumps found in the hu-

man body. Air is pumped with alternating pressure into double-walled leg cuffs

for example. The pressure is increased and decreased at deﬁ ned intervals. It

should be possible to adjust the pressure level to suit the user and the pressure

must never exceed 120 mmHg. When used for cosmetic purposes, treatment

duration and frequency depend on the person’s condition; in the case of medical
