The company behind the firefly device – Firstkind is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sky Medical Technology, a privately held UK company based in High Wycombe and Daresbury. Firstkind manufactures medical devices utilising OnPulse, Sky Medical’s proprietary neuromuscular electro-stimulation technology, designed to enhances the body’s own circulation to increase lower limb blood circulation.
Seen as an all-round British success story, the firefly device has been developed, manufactured and brought to market by Firstkind, following a three year programme of applied research with St Bartholomew’s Hospital and Queen Mary, University of London and published clinical studies conducted by Loughborough University.
According to Firstkind, placing a topically applied, electrical stimulus in the lower leg to mimic the blood flow rates of walking is game-changing. The OnPulse technology leverages a deep understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the human body, biomedical engineering and isometric neuromuscular stimulation.
