Ultrasonic welding is a method of joining two nonferrous metal pieces using high frequency acoustic vibrations to create a strong metallurgical bond without heat, solder or flux.

The high power vibrations are transmitted through a specially designed velocity transformer called a “horn” to the clamped workpiece. The vibrations disrupt the oxide layer at the mating surface causing the metal atoms to diffuse from one piece to the other. This creates a cross-linking that produces a true bond.

When a patient is immobilized for a period of time, fluids can “pool” in the lower legs, creating the potential for serious medical complications. The pressurizing foot cuff simulates the action of walking by sending pressure pulses to an inflatable pad under the arch of the foot. Both impulse length and intervals can be set to prescribed limits based on the patient’s needs.
