Wound therapy applications device

What it does and how it works

The geko™ device, powered by OnPulse™ neuromuscular electrostimulation technology, is clinically proven to increase blood flow for the promotion of wounds healing and the reduction of oedema.

The size of a wrist-watch and worn at the knee, battery powered, daily disposable geko™ device gently stimulates the common peroneal nerve activating the calf and foot muscle pumps, resulting in increased venous arterial and microcirculatory blood flow1,2,3.
