Iranian Knowledge-Based Firm Produces Device for Prophylaxis, Treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcers
“This blood circulation improvement system is a portable electrical device designed for electrical muscle stimulation for use at home by the individual,” Jalal Radadi, the chairman of the board of directors of the knowledge-based company told local Iranian media.
Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) activates muscles through electrical currents, resulting in involuntary muscle contractions.
Stating that the device transmits a single electrical stimulation to a group of underlying muscles through four pads attached to the skin, he added that the unique electrical stimulation continues in a prophylactic wave from the distal to the proximal muscles, resulting in contractions of the vessels and improvement. As a result, circulation of blood is improved and blood flow increases in the proximal and distal areas, which removes carbon dioxide in the blood and oxygenates the blood.
The chairman of the board of directors of the knowledge-based company went on to say that another function of the electrical device was to improve blood supply to the other organs other than the diabetic foot ulcers.
"With this mechanism, oxygen-enriched blood returns to the organs and increases blood flow in patients with decreased blood flow in vessels and veins and atrophic areas (degenerate muscle tissue), paresthesia (numbness and tingling of limbs)," Raddai added.
He added that the device is a therapeutic aid device that should be used each day along with other treatment measures to accelerate the patient's recovery process. "For example, in diabetic foot ulcers, using our device causes the wound healing process to reduce to half of the normal time. It means that using this device leads to an increase in blood flow (perfusion) at the wound site and accelerates wound healing."
He further said that their device for prophylaxis and treatment of diabetic foot not only has all the features that famous foreign-made equivalents have, but also it has been offered for sale at one-fourth of them.
Meanwhile, Raddadi noted that the customers will receive after-sales services if they buy the Iranian-made device contrary to the foreign-made imported ones.
