Thanks to the help from the team at the Medical Research Institute of New Zealand (MRINZ), Encircle has received ethics approval to carry out comprehensive clinical trials on the Encircle Compression Therapy system (stage two trials).

These trials will measure the physiological effect Encircle graduated compression has on lower limb venous haemo-dynamics. The team is excited by the prospect of clinically measuring and proving the efficacy of the products. Early Doppler ultrasound studies have shown very promising results so this study is being conducted on a much larger scale.

Participants are now being recruited by the MRINZ for the study, which is set to take place in August/September. These studies will provide robust research and evidence for clinical compliance with Medsafe and the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) in Australia; helping EMD obtain pre market approval.
