VASKULATOR
hyperbaric and hypobaric chamber for treatment of extremities
Introduction
Vacuum-compression therapy is a therapy method which is used to efficiently treat peripheral circulation disorders, their stagnant metabolism and trophic of different etio-pathogenesis. Therapy is conducted by placing of diseased extremity into a chamber and applying positive and/or negative pressure (in relation to atmospheric pressure), typically in cyclic mode.
Description
Some diseases can reduce fresh, oxygen rich blood flow through narrowed blood vessels. Consequences are many, from subjective feeling of cold extremities to pain, swelling, walking difficulties and difficulties in doing everyday activities. This therapy is exactly what is needed to efficiently reduce or completely eliminate ensued negative effects.
Vacuum compression therapy is based on cyclic alteration of positive and negative pressure inside the chamber (in relation to atmospheric) and its effect on extremity inside the chamber. During the positive pressure part of the cycle, inside the chamber compression of soft tissues is happening, which analogously to muscle contraction compresses blood vessels walls, which makes blood flow in arteries difficult. However, this increased pressure enables easier suppression of vein blood and lymph from periphery towards the heart, which increases peripheral orifice and helps eliminating waste product of tissue metabolism. Contrary to this, during the negative pressure part of the cycle, negative pressure inside the chamber dilates soft tissues, as well as walls of blood vessels, increasing their lumen. Narrowed blood vessels become dilated which establishes better circulation and collateralization. Pressure/Vacuum value is related to the atmospheric pressure and can be adjusted in the range of -100mmHg to +100mmHg (relative to normal atmospheric pressure of 0mmHg). Period of lasting of certain phase, positive or negative pressure, defaults also time which this pressure is maintained for. Time value can vary depending on type of disease which is being treated.
Therefore vacuum-compression therapy can be rightly considered passive vascular training or passive gymnastics of blood vessels.
