Clinical Results
The following cases demonstrate the efficacy of FlowAid treatment.
Color Doppler Ultrasound (CDUS) imaging of the popliteal vein while being treated with the FlowAid FA100 SCCD
Flourescent IR Scanning of a patient with severe lymphedema; performed by Dr. Guido Giacalone, Leuven, Belgium
Baseline – No recognized Flow
Treated – Flow increase (peaks and widening of the vessels) by the induced compression caused by the FA100 contractions
Baseline

Other Results
The following cases demonstrate the efficacy of FlowAid treatment.
Patient: 64 Y/OFemale
Diagnosis: Diabetes Type 2 and currently receiving Dialysis 3 times weekly. Painful ischemic left foot with dry gangrene over the distal tips of toes 1-4. Scheduled for amputation.
Results: Over the 5 weeks of treatment the ischemic condition of the foot has been improved and there is a healthy brown color to the foot.
There is less pain and edema. The distal gangrene that was scheduled for amputation has resolved.
Toes 2, 3, and 4 have been debrided of all eschar and at last visit these toes were healed completely.
