3. 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 fl ights or standing for extended periods).
The device provides a revitalising pressure massage that acts as a preventative to these symptoms. Compres-
sion massage has the following eff ect: If you have weak or diseased veins, vein valves do not close. Blood set-
tles. The vein valve function is restored thanks to the pressure of compression massage. The blood fl ow to the
heart is stimulated.
This revitalising pressure massage is produced by two leg cuff s and two thigh cuff s with integrated infl ating and
defl ating air cushions that stimulate blood circulation. Thanks to its continuously adjustable massage/air pressure
intensity, the leg compression massager can be individually adapted to your needs.
The cuff s are alternately infl ated, helping to reduce swelling and heavy legs. The treatment also relieves muscle
tension in the foot, calf and thigh areas. Varicose veins, varicose vein symptoms and spider veins can be prevent-
ed. The venous blood circulation is also improved through restoration of the vein function.
The cuff s can be adjusted individually to the leg using the hook-and-loop fasteners to ensure a comfortable fi t.
Its compact design and the supplied carrying bag make the leg compression massager suitable for use both at
home and on the go.
Note
The leg compression massager can be reused once the cuff s have been cleaned.
