FlowAid FA100 Contracts Calf Muscles to Stimulate Increased Blood Flow, **w FDA Cleared
http://www.medgadget.com/wp-content/...02/FlowAid.pngFlowAid Medical Tech**logies, a company based in New York City, won FDA clearance for its FA100 Sequential Continuous Contraction Device (SCCD). It’s designed to help promote blood circulation, reduce swelling,آ*prevent atrophy, and lower the chances of ve**us thrombosis in post-surgical patients by electrically stimulating the calf muscles.

Unlike many other muscle stimulators, the FA100 creates a pattern of contractions that compress veins in the lower leg, generating a blood outflow greater than the patient’s own. It’s similar to pushing in one direction on a hose filled with water to make the water flow outward. As the veins become more active the flow through the arteries follows suit.

There’s ** pressure actually applied to the legs, and unlike powered pressure devices, the FA100 is small and the electrodes easy to apply.

Here are whereآ*the electrodes positioned to create a proper pumping action:
