OnPulse™ Technology
Clinically proven, OnPulse™ technology stimulates the motor neurons within the nerve bundle (common fibular nerve, external popliteal nerve, lateral popliteal nerve) that carry signals to the muscle fibres to induce contraction.
By stimulating the common peroneal nerve, proximal to the posterior/anterior bifurcation, OnPulse™ simultaneously activates the tibialis, peroneus longus, and lateral gastrocnemius muscles.
Together, their simultaneous contraction compresses the venous system, efficiently evacuating blood from the deep veins of the calf at a rate equivalent to 60% of walking, without changing heart rate or blood pressure.

Our Devices
T3 - Hospital Applications Device
*NAPPI Code: 1195972001
The geko™ T3 device, powered by OnPulse™ neuromuscular electrostimulation technology, is clinically proven to increase blood flow to help prevent and treat a range of acute medical conditions.
The size of a wristwatch and worn at the knee, the battery-powered, disposable geko™ device gently stimulates the common peroneal nerve, activating the calf and foot muscle pumps, resulting in increased blood flow in the deep veins of the calf.
