CIRCULATION & SWOLLEN LEGS
Poor return of blood to the heart is a common
problem leading to swollen legs and varicose
veins. The programme 8 supports what is
known as the venous pump. Waste products
are discharged which in turn eases the flow of
blood.
12.4. PAD ADVICE
•
The electrode pads supplied are reusable
but for single patient use.
•
In order to obtain the best conductivity
through the electrode pads always ensure
that they are in good condition and tacky.
•
Before use make sure your skin is clean
and dry.
•
Peel
the
protective plastic shield by holding and
lifting one corner of the pad and pulling. Do
not pull on the pigtail wire of the pad.
•
After use always replace the electrode pads
on the plastic liner and replace them in the
re-sealable plastic bag.
