Help Heal Stubborn Foot and Leg Sores
In one advanced PAD study, scheduled leg compression therapy was associated with higher complete wound healing, 58% vs. 16%, and 85% limb salvage over 18 months compared with standard wound care alone.
A Safe Option When
Vascular Surgery Isn't Possible
Medical reviews describe scheduled leg compression as a non-invasive secondary option for select patients who are not candidates for bypass or stenting, with compression cycles designed to support blood flow in the lower limb.
High-Pressure IPC vs. Baseline Hemodynamics in Claudication
In a prospective RCT, high-pressure rapid-inflation IPC improved initial and absolute claudication distances by 197% and 212%, with ABI gains sustained at 1 year.
Ischemic Ulcer Healing and Limb Salvage
in Non-Reconstructable CLI
In a CLI clinical trial, adjunctive high-pressure arterial compression was associated with higher complete ulcer healing, 58% vs. 16%, and higher limb salvage at 18 months, 85% vs. 42%, compared with standard wound care controls.
Efficacy of IPC vs.
Supervised Exercise Therapy (SET)
A randomized SFA occlusion study found IPC delivered walking-distance improvements comparable to supervised treadmill exercise, with increased calf arterial inflow.
