CATEGORY VASCULAR
PROGRAM VENOUS INSUFFICIENCY
WHEN?
In the event of venous insuciency without oedema.
WHY?
To increase the general blood flow so as to improve the circulation of the interstitial
fluid and increase oxygenation of the tissues and the intima of the veins. To drain the
veins as much as possible in order to combat stasis.
HOW?
Send pulses so as to cause short tetanic contractions (to drain the deep veins),
separated by long periods to increase the flow.
PULSE WIDTH
To make it as comfortable as possible for the patient, use pulse widths equivalent to the
chronaxies of the motor nerves of the muscles being stimulated. The mi-SCAN function
can be used to determine the pulse widths suitable for the patient’s muscles.
ELECTRODES
Electrodes positioned according to the specific indication.
INTENSITY
Adjust the stimulation energy so as to produce appropriate muscle responses both in
the tetanic contraction phase and in the phase to increase blood flow.
