Easy, Effective, At-Home Treatment for Individuals with Symptoms of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)
The new FDA-cleared ARTAIRA® Arterial Compression device delivers rapid, high-pressure compression to vastly increase blood flow and circulation to the lower legs, feet, and toes.
ARTAIRA OVERVIEW
Trusted Therapy. Proven Science. Real Relief.
Experience how trusted therapy meets modern innovation with the ARTAIRA Arterial Compression Device — an FDA-cleared intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) system engineered to increase arterial blood flow in patients with symptoms of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) and Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia (CLTI). Through rapid, high-pressure inflation and deflation cycles, ARTAIRA enhances circulation, supports wound healing, reduces rest pain, and helps patients walk farther with greater comfort, improving quality of life and potentially reducing the need for amputation.
A New, User-Friendly, At-Home Therapy Option
How ARTAIRA Works
The device delivers 120 mmHg rapid, sequential compression to the foot, ankle, and calf in a repeating 20-second cycle:
- Foot/Ankle inflation (3 seconds)
- Calf inflation (3 seconds)
- Deflation/Rest (17 seconds)
- These repetitive inflation/deflation sequences mimic fast walking, without pain. Venous blood is emptied in the small vessels, allowing arterial blood to more easily flow to the feet and toes. This type of compression therapy could provide long-term blood flow enhancements – and even heal ulcers and potentially prevent amputation.

Extend Care Beyond the Clinic
A Non-Invasive Therapy for Complex Arterial Disease
ARTAIRA is designed to help extend arterial therapy beyond the office, offering a non-invasive option for patients with challenging circulation conditions. Intermittent Pneumatic Compression (IPC) has been shown to support patients with arterial disorders, particularly when traditional revascularization options are limited. Clinical guidance, including a 2024 Clinical Practice Guideline published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, recognizes arterial IPC as a potential therapy to help augment wound healing and relieve ischemic rest pain in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia.
Built on proven treatment principles, ARTAIRA delivers rapid, high-pressure compression—an approach shown in multiple clinical studies to improve circulation in patients with arterial insufficiency, diabetic foot complications, and other manifestations of PAD. By leveraging these established mechanisms, ARTAIRA helps promote blood flow to the lower extremities, supporting tissue health and patient comfort outside the clinical setting.

More Information & Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
We answer your most common questions about ARTAIRA and how it can help manage PAD and related conditions.
ARTAIRA uses intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) to sequentially compress the foot and calf three times per minute at high pressure. These compression sequences mimic fast walking and improves blood flow to the feet, ankles, and toes, helping to reduce pain, heal ulcers, and potentially prevent amputation.
Patients with symptoms of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD), including diabetic foot ulcers and critical limb ischemia, can benefit from ARTAIRA’s non-invasive therapy. Physicians such as vascular specialists and podiatrists recommend arterial pumps for their patients – including those that are not candidates for surgery.
The ARTAIRA device is prescription-only and available through Durable Medical Equipment (DME) suppliers. If you are a physician interested in acquiring a device for your patient, we can connect you with a DME in our wide network. If you are a podiatrist who owns a DME, you may be able to purchase the device and resell it to your patients. If you are a patient looking to obtain a device, we can advise on the documentation needed from your physician and put you in contact with a DME in our network. Contact us to learn how you can get an ARTAIRA device.
Intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) pumps have been proven to help patients suffering from poor blood flow to the lower extremities. Various studies have shown that IPC pumps focused on promoting arterial blood flow allow patients to walk longer distances without pain and experience various other health benefits. The ARTAIRA device is built upon previous technology, and data is being collected from patients currently using the device.
ARTAIRA is designed for simplicity. It features one-button operation, a clear LCD screen, and comfortable, easy-to-apply garments. Its user-friendly design ensures that patients and caregivers can use it effectively at home.
Yes, ARTAIRA should not be used by individuals with conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism, congestive heart failure (CHF), or active infections in the treatment area. Always consult a physician before use.
