Abstract

Pneumatic air compression massaging system widely helps to reduce the appearance and painful symptoms associated with chronic veins in some people. Compression stockings are frequently advised by medical professionals to enhance circulation, stop varicose veins from getting worse, and alleviate pain or discomfort. Leg chronic venous illness affects a large portion of the world's population. Varicose vein prevalence estimates range greatly, from 2 to 56% in males and 1-60% in females aged 18-64 years. Chronic vein disorders can be fatal for patients with diabetes if left untreated. The proposed device massages the lower limb very gently and carefully by providing optimal pressure. The pressure given to the cuff is controlled by the hand-operated controller. This devised technique improves circulation which involves short strokes to move blood from the valves to the veins. The ankle and lower leg get rhythmic air pressure from these unique pressure cuffs. They can minimize leg edema and aid in blood flow improvement.
