The SmartCuffs app is designed to connect to your SmartCuffs 4.0 devices. Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training is a technique in which combines low-intensity exercise under reduced arterial flow conditions. BFR is quantifiably and objectively reducing the amount of blood flow into an extremity by using a specially made medical tourniquet. BFR allows individuals to use low loads yet achieve results similar to high intensity training. The SmartCuffs 4.0 is the only wireless BFR cuff in the world that contains our TriPressure technology. This allows for 3 types of evidenced-based, research supported BFR (continuous, intermittent, and resting BFR).
