OptiFlow® uses intermittent compression technology. Special leg cuffs, equipped with air chambers, are inflated and deflated under computer control. This process ensures that the compression in the cuff builds and decreases in a controlled manner. The programs follow specially developed protocols, precisely varying the pressure in the various chambers. In practice, this works as follows:

• The horse wears the special cuff around its legs.
• This cuff is connected to the computer-controlled OptiFlow® system.
• Depending on the treatment goal, appropriate intermittent settings are selected.
• The treatment time is easily set, after which the system starts and ends the treatment independently.
• The air chambers in the cuff fill alternately with air and exert controlled compression on selected parts of the legs.
• Once the horse is used to the use, little guidance is needed.

Different pressure patterns and settings

• The therapy is adapted with variable pressure levels and rhythms depending on the specific goal (e.g. recovery after sports, treating swelling or improving blood circulation).
  
  

Areas of application

• Medical: treatment of injuries and swelling and injury prevention.
• Sports: muscle recovery, reduction of muscle pain, improved muscle building and improved performance.
• Transport: effective and comfortable recovery during transport time
• Comfort: Horses tolerate OptiFlow® well and are comfortable and calm during the treatment.
