1.) What specific types of product lines that you make?

  NormaTec’s sole focus is in the state-of-the-art design, manufacture and distribution of the most effective pneumatic compression technology available. Our product lines include: (1) medical technologies—the NormaTec PCD (pneumatic compression device) for use by patients suffering from the wide array of peripheral vascular disorders; and (2) athlete technologies—the NormaTec MVP (“Most Valuable Pump”) enabling both Pro and amateur athletes to take their recovery and performance to the next level.

2.) How many types of Compression pumps does your company make?
  The NormaTec PCD incorporates the patented Peristaltic Pulse compression inflation/deflation strategy which delivers the most advanced and effective compression available today. Based on bio-mimicry, the PCD uniquely incorporates the physiologic concepts of the muscle pump, one-way venous and lymphatic valves, and peristalsis.

  The NormaTec MVP is geared toward helping pro and amateur athletes recover faster and train harder. The Boston Celtics, Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Flyers and US Navy SEALs are just some of the organizations that use the NormaTec daily.

3.) Provide a brief description of your company.
  NormaTec designs, manufactures, and markets the NormaTec PCD, the core component of Pneumatic Medicine treatments. Pneumatic Medicine is the use of noninvasive, dynamic, pneumatic compression to treat a variety of medical conditions associated with compromised peripheral circulation. Some examples include chronic wounds or ulcers, venous insufficiency, and lymphedema.

  The NormaTec PCD is an FDA-cleared state of the art pneumatic compression device developed by Laura F. Jacobs, MD, PhD (BioEngineering). Multi-cell inflatable boots are placed around the legs and rhythmically inflated and deflated to carefully prescribed pressures. Stagnant fluid in the affected limb is promptly mobilized via the patented Peristaltic Pulse pneumatic waveform. The NormaTec PCD provides software-controlled, precisely calibrated, dynamic pneumatic compression that mimics normal physiology.

4.) What advice do you have for clinicians who are interested in your products for their clinics?
  Effective wound healing and the treatment of venous insufficiency and lymphedema doesn’t have to be frustrating anymore. Clinicians interested in implementing the NormaTec PCD and Pneumatic Medicine protocols should call NormaTec at (800) 335-0960. NormaTec’s highly trained clinical staff provides a direct and knowledgeable approach to wound care education and can easily set your office up to begin prescribing the NormaTec PCD.
