VACUMED® - Overview of indications
| Indication | Aim of Use | Added Value | |
| Fatigue-related pain-half muscle stiffness. Type 1 A. | Pain reduction. Passive vascular training and intracorporal lymphatic drainage promotion. Injury prophylaxis. | Increase in performance; faster resumption of the next training session. Maintaining and being able to retrieve good training condition. Gold medal. | |
| "Muscle soreness", type 1B, DOMS. | Recovery acceleration by rapid lactase and cK reduction after training or competition. | Increase performance by reducing downtime. | |
| Back-related neuromuscular muscle lesion.Type 2 A. | Lumbar spine traction. Deblocking. Oedema and pain reduction. Intramuscular blood flow promotion and neuronal endothelial stimulation. | Faster return to training or competition. | |
| Muscle strain; neuromuscular muscle lesion.Type 2 B. | Pain reduction. Lymphatic drainage and blood flow promotion. | Faster stress build-up | |
| Muscle fibre tear (interfascicular) type 3 A | Rapid pain and oedema reduction. Lymphatic drainage and blood circulation promotion. | Reduce RTP (Return to Play) up to 40%. | |
| Muscle bundle tear (interfascicular) type 3 B. | Rapid acute pain and oedema reduction. Faster haematoma breakdown. Intramuscular wound healing promotion. | Shortening of individual RTP between 30 to 50%. | |
| (Sub-)total muscle tear. Avulsion. Sinewy avulsion. Type 4 | Rapid acute pain and oedema reduction. Wound healing promotion and neural stimulation. Surgery avoidance. | Shorten individual RTP by 30 to 50% while maintaining capillarisation and shortening recuperation time.. | |
| Post operative swelling conditions / Early post operative rehabilitation after radical surgery or knee / hip TEP in acute hospital. | Lymphatic drainage, promotion of blood circulation and venous outflow. Oedema reduction. Rapid reduction of haematoma. Acceleration of wound healing. Tissue management. Early mobility promotion. | Shortening of early rehabilitation (bloodless rapid discharge). Creates more capacity on ward and in theatre | |
| After amputations. | Significantly faster and safer wound healing due to total flow promotion. Tissue management. | Fast wound healing reduces risk of infection. | |
| Neurological rehabilitation (Clinical Phase A - D) | Active and passive mobilisation through flow promotion and neural stimulation. | IVT helps to restore independence and quality of life (earlier). | |
| Fibromyalgia | Pain reduction, passive vascular training and neural stimulation. | IVT makes the complaints manageable and increases the patient's quality of life | |
| Rehabilitation after knee or hip TEP surgery. | Pain relief, detonation and hyperaemia through passive vascular training. De-oedematisation. Mobility enhancement. Strengthening of physical resources and functions. Increase of endurance through capillarisation promotion (neuronal stimulation). | IVT provides added value rehabilitation and faster everyday integration of the rehabilitant without additional staff burden. | |
| Gonarthrosis (primary and secondary, unilateral or bilateral) | De-oedema by lymphatic drainage. Maintenance or increase of capillarisation by neural stimulation. Traction. Pain relief and reduction of discomfort through passive ga-vascular training and hyperaemia. | Optimising and accelerating the build-up and stabilisation phase while reducing the workload of the staff. | |
| Polyneuropathy (peripheral) | Intensive flow promotion (vascular training, blood flow promotion and lymphatic drainage) and neural stimulation for pain relief, prevention of muscle atrophy and spasms, reduction of RLS and paraesthesia. Maintenance of skin condition. | Promote flow holistically, reduce symptomatology and improve quality of life with passive physical therapy. More USP for the medical facility. | |
| Early geriatric rehabilitation (inpatient or outpatient) | Physical therapy as part of complex treatment (in connection with pAVK, polyneuropathy or TEP), with a focus on passive vascular training (holistic flow promotion) and endothelial stimulation (capillarisation) to improve walking distance, reduce pain and increase vitality. | IVT brings the geriatric rehabilitant back to his familiar self-determined environment sooner and faster. |
Use of IVT in chronic wounds
| Indication | Aim of the Application | Added Value | |
| Extremities pressure ulcer. | Mobilisation of the tissue through intensive holistic flow promotion (arterial, venous, lymphatic), exudate management and optimisation of the oxygen balance. | Optimisation of skin care stabilises the patient and secures the hospital stay. | |
| Arterial wounds (see also DFS and critical ischaemia). | Holistic flow promotion (arterial, venous, lymphatic), capillarisation promotion and optimisation of the oxygen balance. | Quick revascularisation avoids amputation. | |
| Venous ulceration and mixtum. | Mobilisation of tissue and rapid granulation and wound healing through intensive holistic flow promotion and enhancement of intradermal O2 - supply. | Game Change: Wound healing instead of wound management also for long-term wounds in terms of patient well-being. |
