The geko® device has a constant current, square wave, asymmetrical, charge balanced pulse. The constant current refers to the output of the geko® device which is constant during the duration of the pulse. The voltage of the device will vary according to the patient’s...
The geko® is a single-use medical device. This means that it is intended to be used on a single patient as part of a single course of treatment.
The geko® device must be kept clean & dry. Do not bathe or shower whilst wearing the device. Prolonged exposure to water will soften the hydrogel and adhesion may be lost. Immersion may also affect the electronics and prevent proper operation. In the event that...
Historically there have been reports of electrical stimulators (such as direct muscle stimulators and TENS machines) interfering with implanted electronic devices. We have had no reports of unsafe interactions between the geko® and implanted electronic medical...
When we measure the effect of the geko® on increased blood flow, we use the resting blood flow as the comparator. Tucker et al1 compared the increase in volumetric blood flow between resting and with the geko® device activated, and found that the geko® increases the...
