C-Boot Launches New Advanced Model of its Mobile Intermittent Pneumatic Compression Device

Haifa, Israel, June 8, 2009 -- C-Boot Ltd, a manufacturer of advanced compression therapy products, today announced the release of a new and advanced model for its patented line of Mobile Intermittent Pneumatic Compression (IPC) Devices. C-Boot Elastic is based on the original C-Boot Classic technology and is including few significant improvements.

The C-Boot Elastic device will be present at the International Compression Club (ICC) Conference in Ponzano, Veneto, Italy (June 12-14 2009), and at the ILSI-Biomed Israel 2009 conference in Tel Aviv (15-17 June, 2009).

"The new C-Boot Elastic is an important step in our strategy to become a leading, manufacturer of innovative wearable compression devices,” said Ronen Castro, C-Boot CEO. “One of the enhancements we made to the Elastic model is in the foot portion of the C-Boot. The Foot portion is now designed ergonomically as elastic sock and is perfectly fitted with any size of foot or width. These changes have made C-Boot Elastic very easy to wear with almost every regular shoe and provide better comfort to the patient.”

The Elastic model enhances the effectiveness of C-Boot in treating Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI), venous ulcers, Lymphedema, and other conditions that require compression therapy, including the enhancement of blood circulation during recovery from coronary artery bypass graft surgery and orthopedic hip and knee replacements.

In addition, the new products pneumatic brain was redesigned to allow better pressure regimes suitable to a variety of medical conditions. A Dual-Port Mini-Compressor is now also offered in order to support parallel therapy in two legs.

The original C-Boot is a range of lightweight wearable dynamic compression devices that periodically inflates and deflates thereby producing segmented and therapeutically significant compression. The technologies inherent within the device are covered by several US and International patents.

Rather than a therapy that is predicated on a patient being immobile, C-Boot is activated by the patient's own kinetic energy created from walking around. The patient also has the option to use a small, portable compressor. This makes the device the most portable fully gradient and sequential IPC system available. In addition to receiving optimal treatment, a key benefit is that C-Boot allowing patients to maintain a regular lifestyle, taking therapy wherever they go.
