Matrix Muscle Support
Matrix Muscle Support offers CIRCULA®, an automated bioelectronic platform that uses targeted neuromuscular electrical stimulation to activate the calf muscle pump and help prevent immobility-related blood clots. The system increases blood flow in the knee fold by over 300% and is designed for seamless use from hospital to home. Its patented smart search algorithm identifies optimal motor points for comfortable, effective stimulation.

Problem
Physical inactivity and immobility increase the risk of vascular complications such as blood clots, yet current prevention methods are inadequate. Passive measures like compression stockings have limited preventive effect, while external pump machines are difficult to carry around and show limited real-world efficacy.
Solution
Matrix Muscle Support provides CIRCULA®, an automated bioelectronic thromboprophylaxis platform that activates the calf muscle pump via targeted neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES). The system delivers small electrical impulses that make the calf muscle contract itself, increasing blood flow in the knee fold by over 300%. Designed as a seamless, compact, and effective solution, CIRCULA® can be used across the care continuum from hospital to home. The adaptive platform addresses a key limitation of conventional electrical stimulation—discomfort and poor adherence—by delivering optimized stimulation therapies based on more than 25 years of research at Karolinska Institutet and Karolinska University Hospital.
Target Audience
Primary customers include healthcare providers in hospital settings, post-surgical and immobile patients requiring thromboprophylaxis, and rehabilitation centers addressing inactivity-related vascular risks.
