Europe Clears FA100 SCCD Sequential Contraction Compression Device
http://www.medgadget.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/FlowAid.jpgFlowAid Medical Tech**logies, a company based in New York City, won the CE Mark in Europe for its FA100 SCCD Sequential Contraction Compression Device. The FA100 uses four electrodes stuck to the skin over the calf on each leg to generate muscle contractions that improve ve**us outflow from the legs.
What’s interesting about this device is that the compressions it produces generate pressure waves within the veins similar to how centrifugal blood pumps work. The sequential repetitive nature of the electric current keeps pushing the blood to move through the vasculature, creating an effect similar to one produced by external pressure devices.
The company believes that patients with chronic ve**us insufficiency, peripheral arterial disease, lymphedema, and deep vein thrombosis can benefit from the tech**logy.
Here’s a video demonstrating the mechanics of how the FA100 SCCD system functions:
