Pneumatic Compression Platform
Ankle Inflatable Deswelling System
Engineered recovery for bodies built to perform.
Platform Overview
Recovery Engineered
Periarticular oedema is not simply an inconvenience — it is a mechanical obstruction to recovery. Fluid accumulation following ankle injury or surgery compresses the joint space, restricts range of motion, delays rehabilitation timelines, and increases the probability of secondary complications. The Ankle Inflatable Deswelling System was designed to resolve it with the same engineering precision Hexagon applies to every other problem: systematically, measurably, and without compromise.
Six independently controlled compression zones wrap the ankle and lower leg in a hexagonal pressure pattern derived from lymphatic anatomy. Each zone inflates and deflates in a programmatically defined sequence that mimics and amplifies the body's natural lymphatic pump — accelerating fluid movement out of the affected tissue at a rate clinical studies place significantly above passive elevation and ice therapy alone.
Portable, battery-powered, and certified to FDA Class II and CE Mark standards, the Ankle Inflatable Deswelling System is deployed in elite sports medicine, post-surgical rehabilitation, and field medical environments where recovery speed has direct operational consequence. For athletes, patients, and personnel who cannot afford a slow return to function, this is the platform that compresses timelines the same way it compresses tissue.

Built to Recover
Core Technology
Gradient Inflation Cycles
Programmable pressure gradients move through six independent compression zones in a distal-to-proximal sequence, mechanically driving fluid toward the lymphatic trunk. Cycle frequency, peak pressure, and hold duration are individually configurable per zone — allowing the treatment profile to be tuned to injury severity, patient sensitivity, and recovery phase.
Physiology
Lymphatic Drainage Optimisation
The six-zone hexagonal compression pattern is derived from anatomical mapping of the ankle's lymphatic network. Pressure is applied where the lymphatic vessels run, in the direction they flow, at the frequency that matches their natural pumping rhythm. The result is lymphatic assistance that works with physiology rather than around it.
Monitoring
Periarticular Pressure Mapping
Each compression zone contains pressure sensors that report actual tissue contact pressure — not theoretical cuff pressure — in real time. If the limb moves, if the cuff shifts, or if tissue compliance changes during a session, the system detects the deviation and adjusts delivery automatically to maintain the prescribed treatment pressure at the tissue surface.
Adaptability
Adaptive Compression Sequencing
Pre-loaded treatment protocols for acute injury, post-surgical oedema, chronic venous insufficiency, and performance recovery — each optimised for the specific fluid dynamics of its indication. Protocols can be customised by clinicians through the companion application and saved to the device for field or home use without requiring clinical supervision at each session.
Clinical Integration
Clinical-Grade Monitoring
Session data — pressure curves, zone activation logs, duration, and patient response indicators — is automatically exported to the companion application and can be integrated with electronic health record systems. Clinicians receive a complete treatment record after every session, enabling protocol adjustments to be made on the basis of actual performance data rather than patient report alone.
Portability
Portable Field Configuration
Powered by a 12V DC system or USB-C power delivery, operable from a vehicle power outlet, portable battery pack, or standard wall supply. The complete treatment unit — controller, cuff assembly, and connectors — packs into a case small enough for a sideline medical bag. Field-deployable in under 90 seconds from case to first inflation cycle.
