2.2 About the WoundExpress Therapy Device
The pump operates on a 4 minute automatically timed cycle, consisting of a 2 minute
venous emptying phase and a 2 minute rest phase. The venous emptying phase
consists of six 20 second compression cycles, while no compression takes place during
the rest phase. Each 20 second compression cycle is characterised by overlapping
synchronous in
fl ations and de fl ations of the distal (lower), central (middle)and proximal
(upper) chamber.
Compression Cycle Delay to cycle start In fl ated state De fl ated state
Chamber 1 (lower) 0s 15s 5s
Chamber 2 (middle) 5s 10s 10s
Chamber 3 (upper) 12s 10s 10s
The maximum pressure in each chamber is 60mmHg.
The segments within the garments are designed to prevent ridging and ensure high
patient comfort and concordance.
