Intended to increase arterial blood flow in lower extremities, ArtAssist is effective on patients with poor circulation, chronic wounds, ischemia, rest pain, ulcers, small vessel disease, diabetic foot, and limb salvage. ArtAssist uses external pneumatic compression on the foot, ankle, and calf to increase blood flow in the popliteal artery and at the tissue level.
Therapy takes place with the patient in a comfortable sitting position at home.
Results should be seen within the first month of therapy. Home Disclaimer Copyright 2001 by Springhouse Corporation .
