Summary

This study aims to compare two different external calf compression devices applied in healthy individuals. These devices are commonly used in medical care in order to prevent the formation of blood clots, for example during immobilization after surgery. We aim to confirm the effects of external cyclic compression on healing and blood clotting and also to identify the one which is more effective.

Conditions

  • Venous Stasis
  • Deep Venous Thrombosis
  • Healing Wound

Interventions

DEVICE

Intermittent Pneumatic Compression, Rapid

Cyclic external compression in both calves through a cuff connected to a device which pumps venous blood in a sharp and rapid way

DEVICE

Intermittent Pneumatic Compression, Slow

Cyclic external compression in both calves through a cuff connected to a device which pumps venous blood in a smooth, slow and progressive way
