The FlowOx™ system addresses peripheral arterial disease (PAD), which is a serious condition leading to pain, chronic wounds and in many cases amputation and mortality. FlowOx™ generates oscillating pressure inside the boot which draws blood down into the leg improving skin blood flow and oxygenation.
Oscillating pressure applied locally, directly on the skin surface increases blood flow, probably due to a combination of dilation of arterioles and increased arteriovenous pressure gradient.
