Micro Vascular Therapy System by BVM Meditech Private Limited

Micro Vascular Therapy (MVT) creates strong contractions in skeletal muscle which can benefit patients with problems relating to muscle tone, disuse atrophy, tissue damage and/or strength.

The patient, a 57 year old woman, suffered a minor fracture of her tibia and was given a plaster cast as part of her treatment. The pressure of the cast coupled with the patient’s poor circulation, combined to create a pressure ulcer that ran down the side of her ankle, wrapped around the heel and up the other side of her ankle.

To compound the situation, or perhaps triggered by the series of events, the patient also developed Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (also known as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome) marked by a heightened sensitivity to dermal contact. The condition persisted even following spinal blocks for pain. Since she was unable to undergo debridement, or tolerate the use of topical dressings, her physician referred her to a MicroVas treatment center.

MicroVascular Therapy (MVT) stimulates autolytic debridement and manages pain. At the MicroVas Treatment Center, the patient received MVT three times a week which did not cause her pain. At one point, the therapist tried a simple saline gel and the patient reacted with extreme pain (10/10) and it had to be washed off immediately. Subsequently, the treatment regimen consisted of MicroVas treatments and sterile gauze dressings only. The photos at left show her remarkable progress over a 60 day time period.
