Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A study to assess the effect of negative pulsating pressure therapy on patients with impaired blood flow to the leg caused by arterial disease, to see if the FlowOx device will increase the blood flow to the leg in these patients.
