AVACEN® stands for Advanced VAscular Circulation ENhancement AVACEN is a noninvasive, drug-free, over-the-counter (OTC) heat therapy system indicated for: 1) minor muscle pain, joint pain, and stiffness 2) joint pain associated with arthritis, muscle spasms, and minor strains and sprains 3) muscular relaxation, and 4) temporary increase of local circulation where applied. How it Works: AVACEN® products are intended to improve local circulation in muscle tissue in as little as 20 minutes of treatment, facilitating and improving microcirculation throughout the entire body. AVACEN is an FDA Cleared Class II medical device that is safe, effective, noninvasive and easy to use.

How the AVACEN works:
Vacuum Chamber
When the hand, enclosed in a special patented mitt, is placed inside the vacuum chamber, negative pressure and heat are applied to safely increase the temperature and blood volume flowing through high volume arteriovenous anastomoses (AVAs). It is important to note that the application of heat without negative pressure is ineffective.
Heat Infusion
Infusing heat into the circulatory system reduces blood thickness (viscosity) and increases microcirculation. Thinner blood facilitates more efficient flow through the skeletal muscles on its route to the smaller vasodilated capillaries (microvascular circulation) which the body uses to radiate the excess ATM produced heat.
Microcirculation
An increase in microcirculation enhances oxygen delivery and nutrition to the skeletal muscles while carrying away carbon dioxide and waste. The result – healthier, more relaxed muscles throughout the entire body.
Supporting Studies:
STUDY: AVACEN® Treatment Method (ATM) Sponsored by The Department of Veterans Affairs & The University of California, San Diego
RESULTS: A statistically significant reduction in widespread pain.
STUDY: Cardiovascular Effects of ATM Heat/Negative Pressure Conducted by San Diego State University
RESULTS: The heart does more physical work than any other muscle over a lifetime therefore muscular relaxation is important. This study produced a statistically significant reduction in “Mean Arterial Pressure."
