The geko™ device
The geko™ device significantly increases blood flow, about 60% of that achieved by continuous walking. Enhancing blood flow is central to the healing process as the lack of blood flow can be a root cause of wounds. By improving blood flow, edema is managed, pain is often mitigated and even the toughest of wounds begin healing.
Consider the geko™ device:
-
In the management of lower leg edema that is contributing to reported pain
-
In the management of stalled, chronic lower leg wounds that are not progressing along the expected healing trajectory
-
In wounds that can be predicted to be slow in healing from the onset
-
In conjunction with compression or when compression cannot be tolerated
-
For patients with fixed ankle joints, those who are bedridden or those with limited mobility
Perfuse Medtec is the exclusive Canadian distributor of the geko™ device. This 10g, self-contained, wearable adheres to the side of the leg to activate the lower leg muscle pumps. Pain free stimulation of the common peroneal nerve is the simple mechanism behind the performance. www.gekodevices.com

Microcirculatory Flux and Pulsatility in ALU Increased by Intermittent NMES of Common Peroneal Nerve
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation of the common peroneal immediately increases microcirculatory blood flow to the wound bed and edge in patients with ischemic lower limb wounds. These data may provide mechanistic insight into the clinical efficacy of NMES in healing wounds.
