Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2006103707A1] An electro-pneumatic apparatus for venous and lymphatic stimulation comprises in combination a pneumatic device (1), designed to press the Lejars vein foot pump, imitating walking, and an electronic device (2), designed to contract the calf muscle and use electrolysis to break down subcutaneous protein molecules. The pneumatic device (1) comprises at least one shaped shoe (11), inside which there is an inflatable membrane (12) positioned in such a way as to apply pressure on the Lejars pump when the membrane (12) is inflated, and a compressor (13), designed to inflate and deflate the membrane. The electronic device (2) comprises an electromagnetic wave generator (21) and actuator means (22), designed to transmit the waves produced by the generator (21) to a patient according to methods regulated by a microprocessor (23).
