Its products deliver long-term treatment of chronic diseases. The Company provides its products for use in the home and sells them through vascular, wound and lymphedema clinics throughout the United States. The Company offers a platform to deliver at-home healthcare solutions throughout the United States. Its initial area of therapeutic focus is vascular disease, with a focus on advancing the care in treating lymphedema and chronic venous insufficiency.
Flexitouch System
The Flexitouch System is an at-home solution for lymphedema patients. The Flexitouch System is an automated, programmable pneumatic compression device designed for treatment of lymphedema in the home setting. Its Flexitouch System has received 510(k) clearance for the treatment of lymphedema, certain types of edema, venous insufficiencies and certain types of leg ulcers. It has also received 510(k) clearance from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the Flexitouch System for treating lymphedema of the head and neck. The mechanism of action of its Flexitouch System is designed to mimic manual lymphatic drainage therapy. Its Flexitouch System consists of an electronic controller unit that offers over 15 treatment settings and multiple contoured garment configurations for the trunk and the arm or leg.
The Flexitouch System offers treatment for upper and lower extremities, as well as the trunk and chest. The electronic controller is a pneumatic compressor with four connector outlets. Each connector has eight outflow ports into which the garment hoses are connected. Its at-home Flexitouch System applies a gentle application of pressure to stimulate the movement of lymphatic fluid and direct it toward properly functioning areas of the body. The Flexitouch System provides an one-hour daily, self-applied treatment solution.
Entre System
The Entre System offers a pneumatic compression solution for patients in need of a basic pump or patients not yet qualify for insurance coverage of a compression device, such as its Flexitouch System. Its Entre System is a basic pneumatic compression device used for the at-home treatment of venous disorders, including lymphedema and chronic venous insufficiency, including venous leg ulcers. Its Entre System is a pump with garments covering the arm or leg with eight chambers that inflate in sequence and remain inflated for a preset time period. All chambers deflate at once. Its Entre System moves fluid from fingers or toes toward areas closer to the trunk. The system can be programmed to a range of pressures delivering a prescribed treatment customized to meet the patient's needs.
ACTitouch System
The wearable ACTitouch System combines intermittent pneumatic compression with gradient compression to the lower leg, ankle and foot to improve and accelerate healing. Its ACTitouch System consists of a compression sleeve, a control unit, an undersock and a power adapter/charger. The compression sleeve has four chambers that inflate to apply pressure to the leg and is designed with hook and loop fasteners to accommodate a range of leg shapes and sizes and may be worn under clothing and with most shoes. Its ACTitouch System operates in sustained compression mode or intermittent pneumatic compression mode. Its ACTitouch System is a home-based solution for chronic venous insufficiency patients that may be worn throughout the day.
The Company competes with Bio Compression Systems, Inc., Lympha Press USA and BSN Medical GmbH.
