AI Technical Summary
Current treatments for fluid stasis-related edema, such as compression devices and massage apparatuses, are often cumbersome, unsuitable for non-elongated areas, and can cause discomfort or skin damage, while existing methods are inadequate for addressing the underlying mechanical issues of inflammation and fluid stasis effectively, leading to prolonged recovery times and increased medical costs.
The use of an airstream system with a directional nozzle and airflow generator to apply controlled airflow to the skin, inducing shear-thinning of static fluids and promoting their movement towards natural drainage areas without physical contact, utilizing nozzles with adjustable shapes and orientations to accommodate various body regions and reduce viscosity, thereby facilitating efficient fluid removal.
This approach enables rapid, painless drainage of static fluids, reducing swelling and inflammation, expediting recovery by moving static fluids to natural drainage regions, and is suitable for use on compromised skin, offering a more efficient and comfortable treatment option compared to existing methods.
