The ArtAssist device is a pneumatic compression device that applies pressures to the limbs in timed sequences. There is a pump controller that contains a housing, an air pump, an air reservoir, electrical power supply, pressure regulation, timing regulation and safety circuitry. A set of limb cuffs contains air bladders that fill and apply pressure. A tubing set delivers the air from the pump controller to the limb cuffs. The ArtAssist device increases blood flow to the limb. This is achieved by applying rapid compression to the soft tissues of the limb. The ArtAssist device empties the veins and reduces venous pressure. The reduced venous pressure results in an increased driving pressure to greatly improve blood flow.
