    Product Description
    The Company's CardiAssist™ System conists of a portable control console, containing pumps and valves, and reusable fabric cuffs, containing inflatable, plastic bladders, which are fastened with Velcro® about the patient's calves, thighs and the buttocks. The cuffs are sequentially inflated (first the calves, next the thighs, and finally the buttocks), during diastole (when the heart is momentarily at rest between beats), synchronized with the patient's electrocardiogram or ECG. Compression of the cuffs during diastole forces blood from the legs and buttocks up to the heart, reducing the work effort of the heart and increasing the flow of blood through the coronary arteries to the heart muscle.
