From Which Medical Device
The geko™ is a battery powered, disposable, neuromuscular electro-stimulation device designed to increase blood circulation in the veins of the leg. Electrical impulses gently stimulate the common peroneal nerve activating the calf and foot muscle pumps to increase venous, arterial and microcirculatory blood flow, emulating the blood flow rate of walking - up to 60%.
NICE guidance (MTG19) supports the use of the geko™ device for people who have a high risk of VTE and for whom pharmacological or other mechanical methods of VTE prevention are impractical or contraindicated. CE marked, the geko™ device is also indicated for the prevention and treatment of oedema, promoting wound healing, the treatment of venous insufficiency and ischemia and promoting the healing of tendon and ligament injuries.
