Worn at the knee, the geko® device delivers painless electrical impulses to the common peroneal nerve to activate the calf and foot muscle pumps of the lower leg to increase venous, arterial and microcirculatory blood flow. The increase in blood flow transports oxygen to the wound bed promoting conditions favourable to wound healing.
Powered by a wrist-watch size battery with software controlled by plus and minus buttons, the self-adhesive geko® device shapes itself easily and comfortably to the leg.
Green flashing LED lights indicate when the device is switched on and which stimulation level has been set. On the underside of the strap, covered by a water-based conductive hydrogel for secure adhesion, positive and negative electrodes deliver painless neuromuscular electro-stimulation to the common peroneal nerve.
