Compression device for impulse compression therapy
Indications:
- rapid decongestion for acute oedema of the upper and lower extremities (e.g. post-traumatic and post-operative)
- rapid decongestion for chronic vascular oedema of the arms and legs (e.g. CVI - chronic venous insufficiency) - compartment prophylaxis for severe soft tissue damage CVI - chronic venous insufficiency, therapy support for chronic lymphoedema)
- compartment prophylaxis for severe soft tissue damage
- prophylaxis of deep vein thrombosis
- leg ulcers with different causes (venous, arterial, mixed)
- diabetic foot syndrome (also with ulcer formation)
- peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) and arterial circulatory disorders of the extremities (also in revascularizable situations)
Contraindications:
The use of this device requires the recommendation of the attending physician with regard to the indication and the recommended duration of use.
Absolute Contraindications:
- Patients in whom an increased return flow to the heart could have a negative effect, e.g. Patients with decompensated heart failure or severe non-adjustable hypertension

Description:
Modern edema and vascular management. Intermittent pneumatic compression devices (IPC) are used to improve blood circulation, particularly micro- and macrocirculation in the lower and upper extremities. VADOplex also belongs to the group of IPC devices, but with the special feature of intermittent impulse compression (IIK/ IIC).
This means that the pressure impulse (built up within 0.4 seconds) is delivered at regular intervals to the venous plexus of the sole of the foot or the venous plexus of the hand.
In addition to increased blood reflux in the veins, VADOplex activates the production of nitric oxide (NO) at the endothelium of the vein, which releases NO, in contrast to devices with slower pulse build-up. Among other things, NO has a relaxing effect on the vascular muscles and improves blood flow, particularly in the neighboring arterial vessels. With IIK, VADOplex offers one of the most effective and gentle methods for improving micro- and macrocirculation.
The system is designed in such a way that it can be used both by specialist staff in the clinic and by the patient at home. The device works with easy-to-apply hand and/or foot pads. If application is not possible due to wounds in the area of the sole of the foot or after amputation, a calf pad can be requested from the manufacturer.
Features / components:
- Improvement of micro- and macrocirculation
- Removal of tissue fluids via the venous system
- Pre- and post-operative swelling reduction
Versions:
- VADOplex Professional for use in hospitals/practices
- VADOplex Homecare for use at home
VADOplex may only be used with the cuffs (pads) provided for this purpose. These are available for hand and/or foot. The foot pads are available in two sizes for left and right and can be ordered individually, in pairs or as a box of 5 pairs. VADOplex foot pads are also available for use under the VACOped to treat injuries to the foot and ankle. The hand pads are available in universal sizes for left or right.
The pads are single-patient products and must not be used or reprocessed for multiple patients.
