SECTION 2: What is REVITIVE and how does it work?

What is REVITIVE Circulation Booster?
REVITIVE is a clinically proven, drug-free medical device, designed to activate the
'second heart' (calf muscles) to increase blood flow and thereby improve circulation.
There are three models - REVITIVE Arthritis-Knee,
All REVITIVE devices stimulate circulation through Electrical Muscle Stimulation to
reduce swollen feet and ankles, alleviate tired, aching legs & feet and to actively
improve overall circulation.

How Does REVITIVE Work?

REVITIVE applies Electrical Muscle Stimulation to the feet via two large
foot-pads. In a seated position, users place bare feet on the device and
increase the intensity level until strong (comfortable, non-painful) calf
muscle contractions can visibly be seen or felt. The muscle-pumping
action immediately increases blood flow and reduces fluid retention,
which causes swelling.
The unique IsoRocker System gently allows ankle joint movement, to
replicate heel-toe raises, as the leg muscles contract and relax.
REVITIVE Arthritis-Knee also includes large Arthritis Pads which are
applied to the thigh. The pads deliver EMS, intermittently, directly to
the thigh muscle to deliver optimum thigh muscle strengthening.
Arthritis-Knee is designed to specifically help those with Osteoarthritis
of the knee or those recovering from knee surgery.
Expert View - Vascular Surgeon
"We have tested and used REVITIVE and have
found that it is very effective at stimulating the
muscles of the feet and lower leg, causing a very
good increase in blood flow. I am so impressed I
will be using it myself."
Professor Mark Whiteley
Vascular Surgeon & Director of The Whiteley Clinic, Guildford & Harley Street.
Clinical Evidence *
Since 2007, we have worked with leading UK Universities and undertaken a number of clinical
studies to build a foundation of research which proves that REVITIVE works. Clinical studies have
shown that just 20-30 minutes of stimulation actively improves circulation, relieving the symptoms
of poor circulation.

Advantages of REVITIVE over traditional circulation therapies
Poor circulation, particularly in more severe cases associated with underlying medical
conditions, can be treated in a number of different ways - compression hosiery and
Intermittent Pneumatic Compression (IPC) or medication.
REVITIVE has a number of advantages over these alternatives:
Actively increases blood flow rather than passive leg vein support
like compression hosiery.
More comfortable and easy to use than compression hosiery (which
can be difficult to put on and needs to be worn continuously).
Able to be operated at home by anyone without the assistance of
a healthcare professional.
Does not produce discomfort from excessive sweating and heat
like that from the sleeve in an IPC.
