What is ABP-051?
ABP-051 is a medical physiotherapy device for blood pressure correction.
ABP-051 can be used by both people with high blood pressure and people with low blood pressure.
Can ABP-051 measure blood pressure?
No, the device does not measure blood pressure.
Blood pressure should be measured with a standard manometer (tonometer). ABP-051 regulates pressure.
How does the ABP-051 regulate pressure?
The device works by using electrical stimulation.
The device has two electrodes that are placed on the wrist and apply a low frequency electric current to the wrist. In response, the vasomotor center located in the elongated spinal cord changes the tone of the smooth muscle of small arteries.
If this tone is decreased, blood pressure will fall; if it is increased, blood pressure will rise.
Does ABP-051 affect the heart?
ABP-051 does not affect the heart.
The heart, as a pump, creates pressure in the blood vessels and the arteries regulate the pressure. There is smooth muscle in the walls of the arteries that mainly controls the pressure.
Changing the tone of the smooth muscle helps hypertensive patients to lower and maintain normal blood pressure, and hypotensive patients to maintain normal health and increase blood pressure.
Do I have to wear ABP-051 all the time?
No, wear only for the duration of the session.
For patients with hypertension, the session lasts five minutes and for patients with hypotension, six minutes.
