The geko® device increases venous return in the lower limbs. This reduction in venous pressure reduces peripheral capillary resistance, which enhances arterial blood flow – illustrated by direct measurement of arterial system, increased cardiac ejection and a reduction/abolition of the diastolic flow reversal, the consequences of which allow delivery of more oxygenated blood and nutrients to flow to the entire lower limb.
- Increases lower limb and foot skin tissue oxygen
- Also assists in the removal of carbon dioxide and metabolic waste from the lower limb
