Power Q-1000 Plus Set - M Leg Cuffs & L Waist Cuffs

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

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

The arm cuff is especially suitable for treating arm edema after breast surgery. Leg cuffs come in lengths up to the knee or thigh. Waist cuffs are available as belt or pant style to treat the upper thigh, hip, and lower abdomen.

Treatment of upper limbs

Arm lymphoedema usually affects one side – typically one arm cuff suffices. Athletes may use two arm cuffs to treat both arms simultaneously. Velcro fasteners secure the cuff under the underarm.

Arm cuff

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

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

Treatment of lower limbs

Measure your ankle, calf, knee, and thigh first. Knee-length and thigh-length cuffs (M–L–XL) are available and can be extended with zippers if needed!

Knee-high leg cuff

Knee-high, specifically for post-thrombotic syndrome treatment (treatment only can start 3–4 months after thrombosis). Suitable only for swelling up to foot or ankle; longer cuff needed for higher swelling.

Thigh-length leg cuff

Ideal for lymphoedema, lipedema, varicose symptoms, post-thrombotic conditions, and muscle regeneration. Usable individually or in pairs, extendable.

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

Treatment of waist, buttocks, and abdomen

Pant and waist cuffs are available for the upper thigh, hip, buttocks, and abdomen. Necessary if lymphoedema reaches the thigh. Suitable also for cosmetic uses like cellulite and cavitation.

Pant cuff

Completely surrounds the thigh, buttocks, and lower abdomen. Offers a wide size range (small–medium–maximum) with a triple zipper. Built-in airhose; no need to buy additional airhoses.

Waist cuff

Belt-shaped with Velcro fastening. Less effective than pant cuff but cheaper. Suitable for lymphoedema and aesthetic treatments (cellulite).

P = pant; M–L = waist cuff; green line and italic values = length in cm; red line and bold values = circumference in cm.

Cuff combinations

Sometimes simultaneous use of multiple cuffs is recommended. Contraindicated in heart failure, infarction, cardiomyopathy, or untreated hypertension.

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

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

The airchambers inflate in sequence.

Safety instructions and contraindications

Carefully follow safety instructions. Do not use during acute deep vein thrombosis; external pressure may dislodge clots causing pulmonary embolism. Avoid use in skin infections like erysipelas as massage may spread infection.

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

Treatment frequency and duration

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

Expected effects

Patience is essential - lymphoedema cannot be eliminated in a single treatment. Noticeable improvement usually appears after 5-10 consecutive treatments. Regular use improves blood and lymph circulation, reduces swelling, tension, and pain.

Pressure setting guidelines

Follow your doctor’s or therapist’s instructions.

General guidelines:

• Low pressure (40-50 mmHg) is sufficient to improve 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 sessions over one prolonged session up to 120 minutes per day.
• Be patient - assess changes after 3-4 treatments; avoid adjusting settings each session.

Risks of improper treatment

Use 40-60 mmHg to support lymph and venous circulation. Higher pressure can cause micro-injuries and tissue hardening. Aggressive treatment may worsen conditions - avoid high pressure!

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