How does VENOFLOW work?

The return of venous blood from the lower limbs to the heart requires the assistance of a pump equipped with non return valves, as the force generated by the heart alone cannot overcome the forces of gravity to drive the blood from the toes to the brain.

Veins contain one-way valves that push blood inward and upward toward the heart when they are functioning normally.

The pumping action in the deep veins is normally provided by the muscles which contract and squeeze the blood at high pressure towards the heart.

When return blood flow becomes sluggish as a result of sitting in confined spaces or where movement is restricted for long periods, there is a risk of dangerous clotting.

The VENOFLOW endorsed by D O Cosgrove, Professor of Clinical Ultrasound at Imperial College London, is designed to stimulate Venous Return Blood Flow by mimicking it's natural venous pumping action from the foot by inducing pulsed squeezing of the vessels of the venous pump mechanism in the foot.

Visualised by Ultrasound Scan, the mechanical pedal action of VENOFLOW has been shown to increase Venous Return Blood Flow by up to 150% after just 3 minutes of use!

Even after use, when the peddling action has stopped, Ultrasound Scans show that VENOFLOW still maintains an increase in flow of returning blood in the legs for up to 30 minutes!

How is VENOFLOW used for DVT protection?

DVT or Deep Vein Thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot in a vein. When the flow of blood slows over a long period, it can become 'sticky' and can clot and cling to the veins of the legs. This clot can then block the vein or can travel elsewhere in the body such as the heart, brain or lungs where it could in severe cases become fatal. Typical symptoms are pain, tenderness and swelling of the calf due to blood flow being unable to pass through blocked deep veins and being diverted to outer veins in the leg.

Prolonged periods of immobility typically on long haul flights, long coach journeys or even long periods seated or anywhere that movement is restricted, can give rise to DVT or Deep Vein Thrombosis.

The World Health Organisation, WHO, has found that those at particular risk are

• Aged over 40 years
• Pregnancy
• Obesity
• Smokers
• Cancer patients
• Varicose Veins
• Heart Disease
• Recent surgery or injury
• Sedentary lifestyles and prolonged bedrest
• Genetic disposition

To stimulate Venous Return Blood Flow, simply place your foot on the spring loaded pedal, push your foot down and bring back up again. Do this for 3 minutes with each foot and repeat the exercise every hour or so.

But that's not all

VENOFLOW for E Thrombosis

Studies have shown that sitting at your desk for more than four hours at a time can cause and pins and needles, stiffness and swollen ankles and in some cases may even result in DVT.

A few flexes of your feet on the VENOFLOW under your desk through the day then helps to stimulate circulation, ease tension and stiffness and reduce the risk of DVT, making prolonged sitting that much more safe and comfortable.

VENOFLOW for stiff and tense legs when you get out of bed

Do you find when you get out of bed your legs feel tense, unsteady and stiff?

Do you notice that by flexing your feet before getting out of bed your legs feel more steady, less stiff and lighter?

You are simply doing some venous pumping with your feet to get your circulation going.

VENOFLOW does much the same thing only a lot more efficiently.

So the next time you get out of bed, a few pumps on the pedal, you wont be shuffling, you will be waltzing your way to the bathroom!

Venoflow for women in pregnancy. Give your feet a rest!

A few Ankle Flexes from time to time with VENOFLOW helps loosen feet, ankles and calf muscles and encourages circulation.

You could try some Yogic Ankle Flexing too.

Bend your right foot back toward you, creating a right angle to the floor. Then exhale as you point your right foot and toes forward and down.

Then inhaling, bring your foot back in the right angle position.

Do the same with your left foot.

Do a couple of rounds of this exercise and after some practice, exercise both feet at the same time.

It takes a bit of pratice but it's definitely worth it!

Venoflow for Varicose and Spider Veins

The blood pressure in the superficial veins is usually low, but if it rises and remains at a higher level over a period of time, the valves in the veins begin to fail and the veins dilate or expand.

Veins that are not functioning properly are said to be incompetent. As the veins expand, they become more noticeable because they lie closer to the surface of the skin, forming the typical patterns seen in spider veins.

People at greater risk of developing spider veins are

• Women in any age group are more likely than males to develop spider veins
• Genetic factors. Some people have veins with abnormally weak walls or valves. They may develop spider veins even without a rise in blood pressure in the superficial veins.
• Pregnancy. A woman's total blood volume increases during pregnancy, which increases the blood pressure in the venous system. In addition, the hormonal changes of pregnancy cause the walls and valves in the veins to soften.
• Using birth control pills.
• Obesity. Excess body weight increases pressure on the veins.
• Occupational factors. People whose jobs require standing or sitting for long periods of time without the opportunity to walk or move around are more likely to develop spider veins than people whose jobs allow more movement.

Ankle flexing exercises with VENOFLOW with repeated flexing of the ankle joint is a great way to reduce the risk of venous congestion and spider veins. The foot flexing action helps contract the muscles in your feet to force blood upward out of your feet and out of the veins back up to your heart.
