Ever sat in a plane for hours? Ever had your legs cramp up and hurt due to the long flight? I know I have and I wish someone had told me about this earlier.
The massager wraps around your leg and once turned on, it improves the blood circulation in your leg.
“This portable leg massager improves blood circulation for those who must sit for extended periods of time–office work or transoceanic flights–by simulating the expansion and contraction of the calf muscles. The massager provides the same type of pressure as hospital compression boots by helping to counteract the sedentary conditions that can contribute to deep vein thrombosis, a serious blood clot condition.
The massager wraps comfortably around a calf (or foot) and when activated, the air bladder fills intermittently, compressing muscles which improves circulation. It delivers 70-130 mmHg of pressure, compared to the 15-20 mmHg delivered by compression stockings, and it has three massage modes with variable pressure for 10-minute cycles. Fits calves up to 19-3/4″ Diam. Requires two AA batteries that provide up to five hours of use.”
