Created to solve the problems inherent in healing wounds and ulcers in the legs, Huntleigh's WoundExpress Intermittent Pneumatic Compression (IPC) Machine features a design that prioritizes fast-acting wound rehabilitation and ease of use for a comprehensive package that saves costs and time. This machine can be used independently without the need for clinical supervision, making it ideal for home use in addition to therapy and medical practices of all kinds. The unit is simple to operate with minimal training necessary, and the garment is easy to don and doff in just a couple of minutes.
Lower limb wounds can be difficult to treat effectively and efficiently, but Huntleigh's solution is a unique timing cycle, called Intermittent Pneumatic Compression (IPC), that alternates pressure around the upper leg, leading to increased blood flow throughout the limb that even pushes through lymphatic swelling and venous insufficiency. Because of this, the garment can be applied away from the wound site, eradicating common feelings of discomfort for the patient and doing away with a lot of the mess that treatment tends to create. The device provides accelerated healing and much-needed pain relief, and only needs to be used for two hours a day as a bolster to standard treatment.
