         Worried about DVT?
Blood flow recovery device once only used in hospitals is now available to Australian consumers.
A device designed to stimulate blood flow and assist in the prevention of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), previously only used in hospitals, is now available to Australian consumers to purchase.

Firefly™ is a simple, convenient and time-­efficient electronic device that can be used to provide athletes with accelerated recovery after intense physical exertion. It has also been proven to assist in preventing the serious health risk of DVT when travelling long distances or when mobility is reduced due to injury.
Medically proven to help prevent Oedema and DVT, and facilitate improved well-­being for those leading an active lifestyle, firefly™ delivers painless electrical impulses to gently activate the muscles of the lower leg to increase blood circulation.
Worn behind the knee, the firefly™ device uses pioneering OnPulse™ neuromuscular electro-­ stimulation (NMES) technology to simulate muscle contraction and trigger the body’s built-­in mechanisms. The device is portable and has no wires and can be easily turned on and off.
Shane McLeod, Director of firefly™ in Australia, is excited to be launching the product to Australian consumers:
"We are excited to launch firefly™ to Australian consumers and share with them the benefits of a product that was once only available to patients in hospital. We have developed a consumer-­friendly product that will greatly assist those who work out regularly who suffer from swelling and soreness after exercise and those who travel on long haul flights and have issues with blood circulation.
“Hospitals and medical professionals have used this blood flow technology with great success for years, especially on post-­surgery patients, to reduce lower limb swelling. We have launched firefly™ so that Australian consumers can also have access to the benefits of this technology. The benefits are not limited to those who travel and exercise -­ office workers who sit at their desks for prolonged periods of time can also reap the benefits of this technology." McLeod said.
The firefly™ device also has the unique ability to increase blood flow when resting, mimicking the effect of an active recovery, which is vital after exercise. This increase in blood flow accelerates recovery from high intensity exercise and promotes healing after injury.
Firefly™ is a one-­size-­fits-­all product with clinically proven sports recovery benefits.
"Firefly™ can also help you to recover from sprains and ligament damage, and if worn immediately after exercise, it can also be used for the reduction of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) within 24 hours of high intensity exercise. It also helps to relieve the discomfort of muscle soreness and aids the recovery of muscles quicker, meaning users can get back to training faster following their recovery period." McLeod added.
For more information and to purchase Firefly™, visit www.elitesportrecovery.com.au
