The very best in Home Health products

The Circulation Booster Mobile has been developed to improve circulation, ease the discomfort of tired and aching legs and to prevent the conditions required for the development of Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism.

The innovation this device brings is its portability. Finally, you can have a therapy on the move, whilst a passenger in an aeroplane or car, sitting in a wheel chair, in a hospital bed during recovery or at your place of work. Indeed, the only time we do not recommend using the product is when driving a vehicle or handling machinery.

The Circulation Booster Mobile is included in the family of products called Transcutaneous Electro Nerve Stimulation, commonly known as TENS devices. TENS is best known for its ability to safely reduce chronic pain. Physiotherapists are the professional group most familiar with the benefits of TENS.

Circulation Booster Mobile is known as an Electro Muscle Stimulation device. The control unit is powered by a battery and transmits mild electric impulses via conductive electrodes through the skin to underlying nerve fibres and muscles. Circulation Booster Mobile is approved for the treatment of pain and the improvement of blood circulation system.

What is it?

The Circulation Booster Mobile is a device that is proven to improve circulation in your legs by as much as 50% in a healthy person.

Why is this important

It has been shown that by boosting your circulation you can maintain a good level of blood flow which can help to prevent the formation of blood clots. The CBM has been designed to focus on improving the circulation in the most vulnerable area – the legs. This is where deep vein thrombosis (DVT) originates and they account for up to 90% of incidences of pulmonary emboli.

How does it work?

Gentle electric impulses are created by a control unit and applied through the skin via conducting fibre sock applicators. Nerve endings in the feet are stimulated by gentle electrical pulses and this causes the muscles in the calf to contract, resulting in a pumping action that forces the blood in the deep veins of the calf towards the heart.

Can you prove it works?

By positioning a Doppler Ultrasound on the deep vein of the knee, we can demonstrate the immediate and sustained increase in blood flow through the deep veins. We can also position the ultrasound on the top of toes and demonstrate an increased arterial blood flow down into the foot.

Is there any reason why I shouldn’t use it?

CBM is contra-indicated for people fitted with automatic implanted cardiac defibrillators(AICD) or pace makers or who suffer from epilepsy.

Where is it safe to use it?

The product is safe to use at anytime except when actually driving a vehicle. It may not be used in a commercial aircraft until cabin staff announce that electronic equipment (computers, iPods, etc) can be used.

How often should I use it for maximum effect?

The frequency of use is more important than the intensity of the therapy. For people who are bed rested, using it six times per day for 30 minutes is not excessive. Those with poor circulation may use it once or more often per day for 30 minutes.

How long will the batteries last?

The battery life is 50 to 100 therapies. The device will simply stop working when the battery is expended.

What size is the unit?

The control unit is H11.5 cm x W6 cm x D25cm and weighs 120 grams
