Sky Medical Technology's CEO, Bernard Ross , adds: "We are always looking to partner with organisations addressing similar issues to us, and Legs Matter shares our commitment to delivering quality care for patients with new and innovative methods. Venous leg ulcers present a significant burden to healthcare systems globally and by supporting Legs Matter we can collaborate to raise further awareness."

Sky Medical Technology develops medical devices that treat a wide range of medical conditions. The battery-powered geko™ is a daily disposable device around the size of a wristwatch and worn at the knee. It works by gently stimulating the common peroneal nerve activating the calf and foot muscle pumps, resulting in increased venous arterial and microcirculatory blood flow, equal to 60 percent of walking without a patient having to move. 

The geko™ device is clinically proven to address a range of medical conditions including the prevention of blood clots, the reduction of pre- and post-operative oedema (swelling) and wound healing (venous leg ulcers).
