LONDON, ONT. It’s called The Geko, and like the lizards it is small, but don’t let its size fool you because it can make a big difference for patients recovering from kidney transplants. The Geko is a wearable muscle pump activator, designed to improve blood flow. Researchers at Lawson Health Research Institute (Lawson) studied the device and found that patients using it following their transplant experienced shorter hospital stays and reduced infections by 60 per cent. “After surgery, many of these organ recipients require a longer hospital stay due to delayed kidney function, infection, lack of mobility or edema,” says Dr. Alp Sener with Lawson.
