Designed to augment arterial blood flow and microcirculation, the Aircast® ArterialFlow System is clinically-proven to accelerate healing of ulcerative wounds and preserve limbs.
ArterialFlow combines rapid inflation and graduated, sequential compression at high pressures and frequent inflation cycles, which works to empty the veins and reduce venous resistance. Decreasing venous resistance promotes unrestricted flow across capillaries, increasing blood to the extremities where healing can begin. Additionally, rapid inflation produces sufficient shear stress within the vein to induce a biologically mediated vasodilatory effect. Both of these effects assist in augmenting arterial flow and microcirculation, thus initiating wound healing and limb salvage.
