A Crossover Study of the Hemodynamic Effect of the OsciPulse Device Compared to Reference Therapies
This study will evaluate the effects on venous blood flow of the investigational device, OsciPulse system, which is an external intermittent limb compression device. The study will enroll healthy human subjects who will have their deep venous blood flow measured by vascular ultrasound during immobility, use of the OsciPulse system, and use of two reference vascular compression devices. Our hypothesis is that the OsciPulse system will create distinct patterns of venous flow, specifically at the site of venous valves, in comparison to the reference compression devices.
