These practices and elements can cause higher pressure in the veins in the legs.

When the pressure gets raised in the veins, the valves inside the veins intended to ensure blood flows back to the heart can become stressed or malfunction, which can cause CVI.

Left untreated, CVI can form ulcers on the legs known as venous ulcers. CVI can also cause venous stasis (slow blood flow in the veins), skin thickening, cellulitis, and various skin conditions.

Symptoms of CVI include:

  • Varicose veins
  • Itching
  • Changes in skin pigmentation
  • Chronic swelling of the legs, ankles, and feet
  • Venous ulceration

The devices connect to garments worn on the legs.

The compression squeezes the legs to eliminate swelling and increase blood flow. The increase in blood flow can prevent pooling and help the patient recover from CVI and avoid ulcers.[/woodmart_info_box][woodmart_info_box rounding_size=”” title_font=”primary” title_size=”large” subtitle_font_weight=”600″ btn_position=”static” btn_color=”primary” woodmart_css_id=”6941c1757f748″ title=”Next Steps” svg_animation=”no” info_box_inline=”no” responsive_spacing=”eyJwYXJhbV90eXBlIjoid29vZG1hcnRfcmVzcG9uc2l2ZV9zcGFjaW5nIiwic2VsZWN0b3JfaWQiOiI2OTQxYzE3NTdmNzQ4Iiwic2hvcnRjb2RlIjoid29vZG1hcnRfaW5mb19ib3giLCJkYXRhIjp7InRhYmxldCI6e30sIm1vYmlsZSI6e319fQ==” wd_z_index=”no” wd_hide_on_desktop=”no” wd_hide_on_tablet=”no” wd_hide_on_mobile=”no” subtitle_custom_color=”eyJwYXJhbV90eXBlIjoid29vZG1hcnRfY29sb3JwaWNrZXIiLCJjc3NfYXJncyI6eyJjb2xvciI6WyIgLmluZm8tYm94LXN1YnRpdGxlIl19LCJzZWxlY3Rvcl9pZCI6IjY5NDFjMTc1N2Y3NDgiLCJkYXRhIjp7ImRlc2t0b3AiOiIjMTQ2MmJhIn19″ custom_text_color=”eyJwYXJhbV90eXBlIjoid29vZG1hcnRfY29sb3JwaWNrZXIiLCJjc3NfYXJncyI6eyJjb2xvciI6WyIgLmluZm8tYm94LWlubmVyIl19LCJzZWxlY3Rvcl9pZCI6IjY5NDFjMTc1N2Y3NDgiLCJkYXRhIjp7ImRlc2t0b3AiOiIjMDAwMDAwIn19″]Please contact us directly if you are the following:
