- Garment designed to follow the natural curve of the leg, with patented wing-shaped bladder wrapping around the calf.

- Sequential garment range designed for optimal anatomical fit and enhanced patient comfort.

- Single air inlet tube positioned anteriorly on the leg away from the bony prominence, designed to help reduce the risk of pressure injuries and to promote safety with less tubing around the patient.

- Simple and robust Velcro® closures helping to promote effective therapy by providing a secure and snug fit.

• Severe arteriosclerosis or other ischaemic vascular diseases
• Severe congestive heart failure or any condition where an increase of fluid to the heart may be detrimental
• Known or suspected acute deep vein thrombosis, thrombophlebitis or pulmonary embolism
• Any local condition in which garments would interfere including gangrene, recent skin graft, dermatitis, on untreated, infected leg wounds.
