2. Getting to know your device

We all know the feeling of getting in from a long, hard day with legs that feel heavy and swollen. This is usually
the result of moving too little or putting one-sided pressure on the legs over a long period (for example, sitting at
a desk all day, long-haul flights or standing for extended periods).
The device provides a revitalising pressure massage that acts as a preventative to these symptoms. Compressi-
on massage has the following effect: If you have weak or diseased veins, vein valves do not close. Blood settles.
The vein valve function is restored thanks to the pressure of compression massage. The blood flow to the heart
is stimulated.
This revitalising pressure massage is produced by two leg cuffs with integrated inflating and deflating air cushions
that stimulate blood circulation. Thanks to its continuously adjustable massage/pressure intensity, the device can
be individually adapted to your needs.
The leg cuffs are alternately inflated, helping to reduce swelling and heavy legs. The treatment also relieves musc-
le tension in the foot and calf areas. Varicose veins, varicose vein symptoms and spider veins can be prevented.
The venous blood circulation is also improved through restoration of the vein function.
The leg cuffs can be easily and conveniently adjusted to your leg shape using the hook-and-loop fasteners. Its com-
pact design and the supplied carrying bag make the device suitable for use both at home and for travel purposes.
