External counterpulsation systems (stationary) are medical devices designed to improve blood circulation in adults with heart disease. They use synchronized pressure cuffs around the legs and sometimes buttocks, inflated during the heart’s resting phase (diastole) and deflated during contraction (systole) to enhance blood flow and reduce strain on the heart.
These systems are typically regulated as complex, non-invasive medical devices and are supplied as integrated assemblies for clinical use. They require professional operation in a controlled setting, often including components like ECG monitoring and pulse oximetry for patient safety and efficacy.
