In the surgery field, pressotherapy helps control the vascular, venous and lymphatic systems, with applications in urology, reconstructive and plastic surgery, traumatology, orthopedic surgery, obstetrical surgery, oncology, vascular surgery.
Applications:
- primary and secondary lymphoedemas
- post-thrombosic edema, hypodermia
- post-thrombosis or venous ulcers
- post-traumatic edema
- lypodystrophies
Thrombosis
The thrombosis of the deep veins of the lower limbs is a frightening post-operative complication in many surgical acts. It often starts forming during the surgery itself because it is induced by immobility, hyper-coagulability at the time of a particularly hemorrhagic intervention, the possible mobilization of the intra-abdominal bodies with the possible compression of the deep venous axes.
To prevent thrombosis; Pressotherapy creates a true per operational assistance of the venous movement of the lower limbs by a pneumatic compression done via boots with compartments enclosing the members to be treated. This gradient of pressure allows a progressive increase in the tissue pressure (stronger partly distal than proximal) and a powerful venous drainage.
