Executive Summary: LiveBand™ BFR has officially launched, offering a breakthrough in strength training and rehabilitation. This innovative device is set to transform recovery methods with advanced features like Active Pressure Management™ and a portable design, making it a game-changer for clinics, athletic centers, and beyond.
Innovation Lab, a medical technology company based in California, has officially launched LiveBand™ BFR, a groundbreaking Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) device poised to revolutionize and elevate strength training to new levels. Inventor Eric Bowman, MD, MPH, states “LiveBand BFR is transforming how we treat patients’ post-surgical recovery and those unable to tolerate high-intensity joint loading,” and “It’s perfect for cases where we need to protect reconstructed or injured tissues.”
LiveBand BFR is now available for purchase. Innovation Lab is actively collaborating with U.S healthcare systems and expanding its sales in physical rehabilitation clinics and athletic training centers nationwide.
“LiveBand is a perfect example of the type of device we love to co-develop at the Lab, in partnership with our innovators, like Dr. Bowman” said Mike McKinnon, CEO of Innovation Lab’s parent company, The Innovation Institute.
In addition to its innovation and enterprise efforts, The Innovation Institute also participates in several healthcare-related investment funds, including LRV Health, Sandbox Industries, and HPA Growth Fund, further solidifying its position as a leader in healthcare innovation.
“The result is a state-of-the-art technology that is portable and easy-to-use for clinicians, trainers and patients. We believe LiveBand can transform the way rehabilitation and strength training is performed across clinics and athletic centers nationwide."
What is Blood Flow Restriction Training?
Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training is a technique that allows patients to achieve greater strength improvements while lifting lighter loads. This reduces the overall stress on the limb, making BFR an attractive option for a variety of treatments. The technique involves applying the appropriate amount of external pressure to an extremity (arm or leg), which helps maintain arterial inflow while occluding venous outflow distal to the occlusion site."
LiveBand BFR offers several cutting-edge features, including Active Pressure Management™ (APM), portability, and wearable technology to track performance. APM is critical for safe and effective blood flow restriction treatment. During exercise, the limb occlusion pressure fluctuates due to limb position, activity speed, and other factors. LiveBand’s APM ensures the user’s limb occlusion pressure remains at the set level throughout the workout.
Industry Trends: The Rise of Blood Flow Restriction (BFR)
The demand for BFR training is increasing rapidly, fueled by its rising recognition in both physical therapy and athletic training. Key trends include:
- Broader Adoption in Rehabilitation: Increasingly, BFR is being used in physical therapy clinics, hospitals, and post-surgical recovery centers, helping patients of all ages and diagnoses regain their strength and mobility without loading their joints.
- Athletic Training and Performance: Athletes and sports organizations are incorporating BFR into their training regimens to improve performance, strength, endurance, and recovery.
- Growing Use in Fitness: Fitness gyms and personal trainers are turning to BFR for low-impact, high-efficiency training that delivers professional results.
