      — Clinical Trial —

      A Randomized, Controlled Study, Assessing the Safety and Efficacy of the MicroVas Vascular Treatment System in the Treatment of Patients with Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy in the Lower Extremities

      IRB #Pro00001496

      Conducted At the University of Texas Health and Science Center and the Texas Diabetes Institute in San Antonio, Texas November 2006 June 2007

      Preliminary Outcome to Date:

      “It is our opinion with the results so far to date thata the MicroVas device proves to be of utmost efficacy in the treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy in the lower extremitites.”

      The outcomes so far to date (June 8, 1007) in the clinical trial assessing the efficacy and safety of the MicroVas device in the treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy in the lower extremeties have shown to be “quite remarkable.” The trial publication should be available and ready for peer review journal and conference presentation in the fall of 2007.

      — Peripheral Neuropathy —

      Most of the possible mechanisms in the pathogenesis of neuropathy results in ischemia, and the resultant hypoxia are, in every case, a major causative agent in the degradation of axonal. The MicroVas Vascular Treatment System incoporates a faradic magnetic waveform, delivered by emitter pads (electrodes) transcutaneously, to obtain full muscle fiber penetration in order to achieve deep muscle stimulation, lymphatic stimulation, and restore calf pump mechanical function, which causes blood to pump more efficiently and increase blood perfusion to upper and lower extremities to ultimately rejuvinate nerve function which had been damaged by the diabetic or non-diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

      — Non-healing Wounds —

      Of all mechanisms in the pathogenesis of wounds, ischemia and resultant hypoxia it causes is the largest obstacle to healing. The medical profession has been battling ischemia / hypoxia with vasodilators, growth factors, heating modalities, infrared light, and hyperbaric oxygen. The MicroVas Vascular Treatment System is a physical medicine modality which addresses the problem from a different perspective; working directly and mechanically to elevate blood flow through neuromuscular stimulation of the venous muscle pump. MicroVas vascular therapy can help correct tissue hypoxia to a level that facilitates the demands of the wound and promotes angiogenesis, fibroplasias and epthethlialization.

      — Sports Injuries —

      The MicroVas Vascular Treatment System has been dramatically effective treating sports injuries in terms of pain alleviation as well as accelerated healing of inflamed muscle tissue and reduction of swelling. MicroVas vascular therapy stimulates the lymphatic system to upregulate drainage, decrease swelling and boost the body’s immune responses. At the same time, it promotes blood flow to help deliver more oxygen and nutrients to aid in the proliferation and remodeling stages.
