Power Q-1000 Plus Set - Leg Treatment Kit, Size L

Accessories are available separately for the device. Various types and sizes of cuffs are available. Select the cuff suitable for the desired body part.

Arm, leg, and waist cuffs are designed for their respective body parts. Up to three cuffs can be connected to the device and - if health allows - can be used simultaneously.

The arm cuff is especially suitable for treating arm lymphedema after breast surgery. Leg cuffs are available in lengths reaching knee or thigh. Waist cuffs come as belts or pants for treating upper thigh, hip, and lower abdomen.

Upper limb treatment

Lymphedema occurring on the arm is typically unilateral – usually one arm cuff is enough. Athletes can use two arm cuffs to treat both arms simultaneously. The cuffs are fastened with Velcro under the underarm.

Arm cuff

Before purchasing, measure your arm at the wrist, forearm, and the underarm section of the upper arm. Choose size M or L.

M–L arm cuff: green line and italic text value= length in cm; red line and bold text value= circumference in cm.

Lower limb treatment

First measure the ankle, calf, knee, and thigh. Knee-high and thigh-high cuffs (M–L–XL) are available. They can be extended with zip extensions if needed!

Knee-high leg cuff

Knee-high, specifically used for post-thrombotic syndrome treatment (treatment should start only 3–4 months after thrombosis). Suitable for edema limited to the foot or ankle; for higher edema, a long cuff is necessary.

Thigh-high leg cuff

Ideal for lymphedema, lipedema, varicose complaints, post-thrombotic states, and muscle regeneration. Can be used individually or in pairs, extendable.

H=knee-high; M–L–XL=thigh length; green line and italic text value= length in cm; red line and bold text value= circumference in cm.

Waist, buttocks and abdomen treatment

Pants- and belt-type cuff options are available for the upper thigh, hip, buttocks, and abdomen. These cuffs are necessary if lymphedema extends to the thigh. Also suitable for cosmetic applications such as cellulite and cavitation.

Pant cuff

Fully surrounds the thigh, buttocks, and lower abdomen. It has a three-row zipper offering a wide size range (small–medium–maximum). Built-in airhose; no need to purchase an additional airhose.

Belt cuff

Belt-shaped, fastened with Velcro. Less effective than the pant cuff but cheaper. Suitable for lymphedema and aesthetic treatments (cellulite).

P= pant; M–L= belt cuff; green line and italic text value= length in cm; red line and bold text value= circumference in cm.

Cuff combinations

Sometimes simultaneous use of multiple cuffs is advisable. Contraindicated in heart failure, myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy, or untreated high blood pressure.

Before starting treatment, set the appropriate pressure and duration. Pressure can be adjusted between 20 and 300 mmHg, although most treatments require only 40-60 mmHg. Duration can be set between 0 and 30 minutes; start initial treatments with 20 minutes.

The airchambers sequentially inflate - legs: ankle-calf-knee-thigh; arms: hand-forearm-elbow-upper arm - for optimal circulation improvement.

Airchambers inflate sequentially.

Safety instructions and contraindications

Carefully follow safety regulations. Do not use in acute deep vein thrombosis; external pressure can dislodge clots causing pulmonary embolism. Avoid use in skin infections, such as erysipelas, as massage may spread the infection.

In heart disease, heart failure, cardiomyopathy, or post-myocardial infarction conditions, never exceed 40-60 mmHg and use only one cuff at a time. For cancer patients, consult with an oncologist before treatment; avoid direct treatment of active tumors.

Treatment frequency and duration

Frequency and duration should be individually determined. Generally, shorter, more frequent treatments (20-30 minutes) are better than rare, longer treatments. Total daily treatment time should not exceed 120 minutes (on the same area).

Expected effects

Patience is key – lymphedema cannot be eliminated in one treatment. Noticeable improvement usually appears after 5-10 consecutive treatments. With regular use, blood and lymph circulation improve, swelling, tension, and pain decrease.

Guidelines for pressure settings

Follow the instructions of your doctor or therapist.

General guidelines:

• Low pressure (40-50 mmHg) is sufficient for improving circulation; high pressure may be harmful.
• Start initial treatments at 40-50 mmHg for 20 minutes.
• Monitor and increase pressure if needed but do not exceed 60 mmHg.
• Prefer multiple 20-30 minute treatments over a long 120-minute single treatment daily.
• Be patient - evaluate changes after 3-4 treatments; avoid changing settings each session.

Risks of improper treatment

Use 40-60 mmHg for supporting lymph and venous circulation. Higher pressure can cause micro-injuries and tissue hardening. Aggressive treatment may worsen condition – avoid high pressure!

In heart disease, heart failure, cardiomyopathy, or post-infarction state, never exceed 40-50 mmHg, and use only one cuff to avoid overloading the circulatory system. Do not treat active tumors directly but safe to treat areas distant from tumor, e.g. legs in thyroid cancer patients.
