In the case of tissue that has been damaged or subjected to trauma, oedema and bleeding impair the supply of oxygen and nutrients. This leads to a circulatory disorder and overheating due to inflammation. The effects of HILOTHERAPY\u00ae counteract these symptoms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

HILOTHERAPY\u00ae \u2013 a thermo-treatment approach that promotes healing of damaged tissue\u200b<\/strong>
\nParticularly following surgical interventions, injury and in cases of chronic disease, and for the swelling, bleeding, haematoma, oedema and inflammation that result from these, our treatment not only promotes healing but also reduces the intensity of pain, which may mean patients are able to take less medication.<\/p>\n

What role is played by oxygen and nutrient supply?<\/strong>
\nFollowing surgery or injury, oxygen and nutrient supply to the tissues is severely impaired. The increased metabolic rate leads to overheating with inflammation of the affected tissue, and an associated circulatory disorder. The oxygen demand is significantly increased by this process.<\/p>\n

The result:\u00a0\u200b<\/strong>
\nthe levels of oxygen available that reach the affected tissues is no longer sufficient to support regeneration due to the increased oxygen demand. This shortage of oxygen (ischaemia) leads to further cell death; fluid-binding proteins are released, which lead to further oedema, which is the start of a vicious cycle leading to damage due to hypoxia (oxygen shortage).<\/p>\n

How can medicine intervene?\u00a0\u200b<\/strong>
\nThe oxygen demand of the damaged tissues must be reduced.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

How does it work?\u200b<\/h2>\n

The thermal effects are created using distilled water. The water is heated or cooled in our specially-designed treatment devices with degree-exact precision and maintained constantly at this value. This guarantees temperature stability as medically indicated. Applications lasting from hours to several days can even be carried out with no temperature deviations. Sensors constantly verify the temperature value and ensure its consistency. The cooled water flows around a closed-loop system through anatomically designed cuffs which are available as single-use cuffs for different parts of the body, or also as reusable cuffs (only in orthopaedic applications).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

There are special cuffs designed for each indication and affected body part that integrate an intricate capillary system into their design. This guarantees\u00a0the uniform effects of the temperature applied onto the injured tissues. We would be delighted to advise you further on which device and cuffs are best suited to your needs.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt our hospital for oral and maxillofacial plastic surgery, we have several HILOTHERAPY devices that are in constant use. Particularly following bimaxillary realignment osteotomy procedures, HILOTHERAPY\u00ae allows us to achieve astonishing results in terms of preventing both swelling and pain. It would now be unthinkable for us to go without these devices for use following both minor and major interventions, if nothing else due to the excellent acceptance of the treatment by patients and the growing demand by patients for application of HILOTHERAPY during post-operative recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
