The Vibro-Pulse pad is placed into a disposable cover with
integrated limb support straps.
The
pad is placed under the limb to be treated, in direct contact
with the skin if treating cellulitis, or in direct contact
with any bandaging or dressing if a leg ulcer.
NOTE bandaging or dressings do not need to be removed for
Vibro-Pulse treatment.
The support straps within the cover must be fastened over
the leg during treatment to ensure maximum treatment effectiveness.
Press two buttons and the Vibro-Pulse treatment automatically
starts for a set period of 30 minutes.
Vibro-Pulse is designed to be used with a disposable cover
and straps for optimum effectiveness and infection control.
How does it work?
Vibro-Pulse® is a unique 3 dimensional spiral / cycloidal
vibration action that is clinically proven to increase skin
blood supply and microcirculation. The cycloidal vibration
increases localised vasodilation of the blood and lymphatic
vessels to increase circulation in the tissues. As
a result:
Hydration of the epidermis and upper dermis
Use
of Vibro-Pulse® has also demonstrated improved hydration
of the epidermis and upper dermis, stimulating fluid drainage
and a reduction in oedema / swelling.
U= upper dermis L=lower dermis. The
= low echographic pixels show oedema / swelling, demonstrating
significant reduction after 4 weeks of Vibro-Pulse Therapy.
While cycloidal vibration of the limb is in progress, the
relatively stiff tissue components transmit cycloidal vibration
well, causing fluid to be pumped into and along the lymphatics,
reducing tissue pressure and oedema.
Are there other benefits ?
The use of the Vibro-pulse® has also resulted in improved
mobility and significant reduction in pain.
Where can the product be used ?
The Vibro-Pulse® pad can be used in both hospital
and at home by the patient. The Vibro-Pulse® pad is
simple and effective to use. It has been demonstrated that
patients can use the treatment easily at home after simple
instruction from their district nurse or carer.
