The system typically consists of a compression pump, control and timing mechanism, tubing, and pneumatic stocking(s) or suit. This is achieved through the cyclical inflation and deflation of a single-chambered stocking, sleeve, or suit applied to the extremities. The use of IPC devices is becoming popular among endurance athletes despite the limited evidence to support whether IPC can aid athletes’ recovery. It functions by intermittently applying pressure to a patient's arms or legs to promote venous blood flow at timed intervals. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the NormaTec PCD, a non-invasive pneumatic compression device with the patented peristaltic pulse. Dynamic compression consists of intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) devices, such as the NormaTec Recovery System and Recovery Pump. In some systems, each chamber reaches the same pressure but at different times, while others apply greater pressure distally which gradually diminishes higher up.Ī system used for the noninvasive treatment and prevention of venous disorders and sequelae such as oedema, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE).


It consists of a compression pump, control/timing mechanism, tubing and has pneumatic stockings, sleeves, or a suit with several chambers that inflate and deflate sequentially in a pattern beginning at the foot or ankle and continuing to chambers around the calf and thigh.

It functions by applying sequential pressure to a patient's legs to promote venous blood flow.
#Normatec pcd pneumatic compression device portable
Backed by the same science that powers the original Normatec system, the Normatec Go is completely portable and delivers dynamic air compression to the calf muscles to increase circulation and reduce pain and tension in the legs. A system used for the noninvasive treatment and prevention of venous disorders and sequelae such as oedema, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). The Normatec Go by Hyperice delivers targeted massage for fresh legs on-the-go.
