Automated Cuff Systems
Automated cuff systems consist of inflatable cuffs that automatically determine the appropriate amount of pressure to use during exercise with BFR. These cuffs contain built in technology that directly measure arterial occlusion pressure (AOP) and utilize a motorized pump to automatically inflate cuff pressures to a desired %AOP.
Below are pressures to utilize based on risk classification as well as links to commercially available products
High Risk
40% AOP or “Low” pressure setting
Moderate Risk
40-60% AOP or “Low/Moderate” pressure setting
Low Risk
40-80% AOP or “Low/Moderate/High” pressure settings
