Today we held the first Venapro system in our hands. The system is currently only available in the US, but will be available in Germany in the coming weeks.
The seemingly simple system consists of a bandage that fastens to the lower leg with a Velcro fastener. At the front is a small, electronically controlled, battery-operated pump unit. Every 60 seconds, the cuff is filled with air, compressing the blood. The result is significantly improved venous return. This means that blood is pumped out of the lower leg and lymphatic drainage is improved. This also allows for optimal treatment of knee swelling, for example. The first test patient with knee swelling received the system today. We are excited to see the results.
