Power Q-1000 Premium Set - Leg Treatment Kit, Size M

Accessories can be purchased separately for the device. Various types and sizes of cuffs are available. Select the cuff suitable for the body part you wish to treat.

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

The arm cuff is particularly suitable for post-breast surgery arm edema treatment. Leg cuffs are available in knee-length or thigh-length. Waist cuffs come as belts or pant forms for treating upper thigh, hip, and lower abdomen.

Treatment of upper limbs

Lymphedema on the arm is usually one-sided – one arm cuff is generally sufficient. Athletes may use two arm cuffs to treat both arms simultaneously. Velcro fasteners secure the cuff under the underarm.

Arm cuff

Measure your arm at the wrist, forearm, and under the underarm before purchase. Choose M or L size.

M–L arm cuff: green line and italic font values=length in cm; red line and bold font 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. They can be extended with zipper inserts if needed.

Mid-height leg cuff

Knee-length, used especially for post-thrombotic syndrome treatment (start only 3-4 months after thrombosis). Suitable for edema only up to foot or ankle; longer cuff needed for higher edema.

Thigh-length leg cuff

Ideal for lymphedema, lipedema, varicose complaints, post-thrombotic conditions, and muscle regeneration. Usable individually or as a pair, extendable.

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

Treatment of torso, buttocks, and abdomen

Pant and belt cuffs are available for upper thigh, hip, buttocks, and abdomen. These cuffs are necessary if the lymphedema reaches the thigh. Also suitable for cosmetic applications like cellulite and cavitation.

Pant cuff

Fully surrounds the thigh, buttocks, and lower abdomen. Features a three-row zipper providing wide size options (small–medium–maximum). Built-in airhose; no additional airhose purchase needed.

Belt cuff

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

P=Pant; M–L=belt cuff; green line and italic font values=length in cm; red line and bold font values=circumference in cm.

Cuff combinations

Sometimes using multiple cuffs simultaneously is advisable. Contraindicated in heart failure, infarction, cardiomyopathy, or untreated hypertension.

The Power Q-1000 Premium offers all medically recommended settings for home maintenance treatment of lymphedema, varicose veins, and post-thrombotic conditions.

The device has 6 programs (A1-A2-B-C-C-D-E).

Use programs A1, C, and E for treatment of lymphedema, varicose veins, and post-thrombotic states.

A1 is the mildest, C the strongest, and E intermediate. Start with A1 and switch only if results are insufficient.

Programs A1, C, and E can improve muscle regeneration in athletes and post-stroke patients.

A1-C-E programs work from bottom to top: the lowest chamber inflates first, then the next.

The A2 program operates in reverse (top to bottom), and should never be used for lymphedema or varicose veins. It is recommended for improving microcirculation in certain peripheral arterial diseases and postoperative states.

Inflated chamber pressure compresses underlying tissues, "squeezing out" edema (lymph fluid).

The menu system is easy to use. Settings can be saved so next time you only need to press "start."

It is especially important that chamber pressure is individually adjustable for optimal leg compression therapy.

Treatment time can be set from 5 to 99 minutes. The device switches off when time elapses.

Treatment guidelines

Follow your doctor or therapist's instructions.

General guidelines:

The goal is to improve blood and lymph circulation without excessive pressure; high pressure is not recommended.

Start initial treatments with program A1.

Set pressure so the lowest chamber has the highest pressure, decreasing upwards (e.g., 60-50-50-50-40 mmHg). Studies show best results with this approach for leg lymphedema.

Each pressure should be held for 13-15 seconds, allowing one full cycle per minute. Longer hold times ensure more effective compression therapy.

Begin with a 20-minute treatment.

Monitor effects and increase to 30 minutes if needed. Multiple 30-minute treatments are better than infrequent long ones. Total daily treatment should not exceed 120 minutes.

Be patient. Evaluate effects after 3-4 sessions; avoid changing settings after every treatment.

Risks of improper use

Apply 30-60 mmHg pressure for lymphatic and venous circulation. International studies recommend this range.

Higher pressure can cause micro-injuries, hardening edematous tissues, and worsening condition. Avoid aggressive high-pressure treatments.

Patients with heart disease, heart failure, cardiomyopathy, or post-infarction require caution: never exceed 40-50 mmHg and use only one cuff at a time to avoid cardiac overload.

Avoid direct treatment of tumor tissue as it may promote spreading. However, legs may be treated safely in thyroid cancer cases.

Expected results

• Reduced swelling: Effectively decreases limb edema.
• Pain relief: Eases discomfort caused by swelling and venous insufficiency.
• Improved mobility: Increases joint range of motion by reducing swelling and stiffness.
• Complication prevention: Lowers risk of venous ulcers and thrombophilia.

Recommended duration of use

Frequency and duration depend on the condition and individual factors. Treatments typically last 20-60 minutes and can be repeated daily as needed. Use regularly over several weeks for optimal results. Consult a lymph therapist for a personalized plan.

Contraindications and precautions

Machine compression therapy may not be suitable in some cases or requires caution and lower pressure in others.

Contraindications:

• Severe peripheral arterial disease (PAD): High pressure may be harmful.
• Severe heart failure: Fluid shifts can be dangerous; treatments must be limited and cautious.
• Active DVT: Compression may dislodge clots; absolute contraindication.
• Acute skin infections (e.g., erysipelas): Massage can spread pathogens and worsen inflammation.

Use with caution:

• Post-lymph node removal edema (e.g., after Wertheim surgery) requires specialist supervision.
• Abdominal swelling related to tumors only under oncologist control.
• Heart disease and hypertension require caution: use only one cuff at low pressure (40-50 mmHg) and prefer longer sessions over increasing pressure.
