Surface NeuroMuscular Electrical Stimulation in the Treatment of Chronic Venous Leg Ulcers

The VASGARD device is a 2 channel muscle stimulator system designed for increasing venous blood flow. Controlled electrical stimuli are delivered to the patient through adhesive gel electrodes placed over the motor points of muscles on the lower leg. This elicits artificial muscular contractions which in turn increases lower limb venous haemodynamics.

Compression bandaging systems apply graduated external pressure to the lower limb to promote venous return to the heart reducing venous hypertension and thereby facilitate venous ulcer healing.
