The circulatory system and the lymphatic system work closely together: blood supplies cells, and therefore organs, with oxygen and nutrients. The lymphatic system plays an important role in the immune system, metabolic processes, and tissues. This is also demonstrated by a 2012 study by Mohammad Jafarnejad, which dealt with measuring nitric oxide production in the lymphatic endothelial system.

In this post, we will show you how to activate nitric oxide production throughout the body with the STENDO® V4 Body endolymphatic stimulation device as a micro-massage and lymphatic drainage device, thereby benefiting your health, maximizing mobility, and increasing athletic performance.
The endothelium is a tissue composed of cells that line the inner walls of all vessels, whether large or small, whether blood or lymphatic vessels. This network of endothelial cells, spanning over 160,000 km, is essential for nourishing every single cell as well as for the smooth functioning of our organs and immune system. Like our muscles, the endothelium also needs to be physically stimulated, otherwise its function is lost. This is achieved through good circulation of bodily fluids (blood and lymph), which normally flow properly through movement and exercise.
In addition to diseases, disabilities, stress, and a sedentary lifestyle, aging also takes a toll on the endothelium. Compared to a healthy 25-year-old, whose endothelial function should still be 100 % active, that of a 75-year-old is only about 25 % active. In practical terms, this means that, compared to a healthy 25-year-old, a 75-year-old would need to be three times as active to maintain vascular health.
The STENDO® V4 Body comfortably activates a deep micro-massage while in a resting position, which stimulates the endothelium and promotes nitric oxide production through shear forces.
Lymphatic drainage is a special type of medical massage. It is primarily used for fluid buildup in the tissues (lymphedema). In lymphedema, inflammation occurs in the spaces between cells, hindering lymph flow. This causes lymph to back up in the tissues, resulting in swelling. However, lymphatic drainage can also help with other conditions such as chronic polyarthritis, stroke, or headaches. Other applications include edema during pregnancy, cellulite, or faster recovery after sports activities (quicker lactic acid removal). During lymphatic drainage, the therapist uses various massage techniques. These stimulate the lymphatic vessels and promote better removal of lymph fluid. Lymphatic drainage is often applied to the extremities, such as arms and legs. Only therapists with specialized training from an accredited teaching institute are permitted to perform manual lymphatic therapy. Alternatively, there is intermittent pneumatic compression therapy or simple treatment without special training using the lymphatic drainage function of STENDO® V4 Pulse Therapy.
Good circulation and nitric oxide (NO) are essential for our health and well-being. That's reason enough for two men in France to dedicate themselves entirely to this goal: developing a unique technology for greater health, performance, and well-being through a patented improvement in circulation and nitric oxide release.
In 2011, Jürg Scheiwiller and Renan Le Blé founded the company STENDO® and produced the STENDO® pulsation suit. This was a type of cuff with a pulse-controlled massage effect that stimulates the circulatory and microcirculation systems. The procedure is based on earlier discoveries by the Nobel Prize laureates in Medicine, Robert Francis Fuchsgott, Louis J. Ignarro, and Ferid Murad in 1998. These revolve around the endothelium and the production of nitric oxide in the body. Due to its anti-aging effects, nitric oxide is also called the youth molecule.
The 100 % natural and deep-acting micro-massage primarily stimulates the vascular endothelium and reactivates blood and lymph flow by Nitric oxide production is increased, thereby dilating the blood vessels. Since the therapeutic effect of this massage technique is not limited to a local area but distributes circulatory stimulation and micro-massage throughout the entire body, this principle offers a therapeutic approach and various synergies with other rehabilitation techniques that are typically applied more locally and superficially. The STENDO® method promotes microcirculation and lymphatic flow entirely without medication or side effects.
Although the micro-massage is applied only locally (to the lower body or arms), it stimulates circulation throughout the entire body—from the little toe to the brain. This is a cardio-synchronized massage: A heart rate monitor transmits the heartbeat to the control unit, which then generates additional cardiac pulses (during the diastolic phase); these pulses are in turn transmitted to the body via a gel-filled, multi-layered cuff (the pulsation suit). In this way, the body receives additional impulses alongside its normal heartbeat, which are also generated completely naturally. This ingenious micro-massage now works on the connective tissue and, as a lymphatic drainage device, on the venous and lymphatic vascular structures. The software is easily controlled and selected via the STENDO® app on a tablet. There are programs tailored to each area, such as health, sports, and wellness/beauty. The portable device can be used anywhere there is a power outlet. And, unlike manual lymphatic massage, the treatment takes place entirely without the need for staff.
The STENDO® V4 Body is a new device for circulation stimulation and lymphatic drainage in our program MTR – Health & Spa AG. The lymphatic drainage and micro-massage functions help treat many conditions associated with impaired tissue and vascular function. The gel-filled pulse wave cuff massages the blood and lymph vessels with cardio-synchronous, rhythmic massage waves. This has a positive effect on the entire circulatory system and triggers a chain reaction not only locally but throughout the entire body. The primary effect of the micromassage and lymphatic drainage device is the stimulation of the endothelium: this leads to increased production of nitric oxide and dilation of the blood vessels. Additional positive effects include improved blood circulation, lymphatic system function, and metabolic processes. It also has a positive impact on the autonomic nervous system and sleep quality. Thanks to these diverse, health-promoting effects, this microcirculation and lymphatic drainage device can be used to great benefit in many areas.
Areas of application for the STENDO® micromassage and lymphatic drainage device:
The STENDO® V4 Body offers various protocols that stimulate blood and lymphatic vessels accordingly, depending on the application. The device can do everything a.
Lymphatic drainage or micromassage and stimulation of the circulatory system using the STENDO® V4 Body offers numerous health benefits: It has anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects. This pulse therapy device should therefore be a staple in every practice or clinic. With the STENDO V4 Body, however, you get far more than just a conventional lymphatic drainage device.
The STENDO® technology offers optimal support for rehabilitation after surgery. It helps reduce inflammation or swelling. For people with limited mobility, deficits in the circulatory or lymphatic system quickly arise. The STENDO® system booster is the perfect solution for this. In older people, mobility and overall well-being can be improved, as regenerative capacity also declines with age. Pulsation wave massage can counteract this positively. Swelling and inflammation are reduced, fatigue is combatted, and healing processes are accelerated. A STENDO® treatment energizes the entire body from within, eliminates blockages, and gets life flowing again. All of this and much more is possible through endothelial stimulation and lymphatic drainage with the STENDO® V4 Body. The treatment with the STENDO® V4 Body requires almost no personnel. Manual lymphatic drainage, on the other hand, is strenuous and requires specialized expertise. This is now handled by the lymphatic drainage device and your new therapy partner.
Good reasons for treatment with STENDO®:
An athlete's performance also depends on their ability to recover. The better and faster waste products are removed and metabolism functions, the better the athletic performance. In addition, inflammation, joint wear and tear, and fibrosis occur much less frequently, micro-injuries heal faster, muscle fibers are built up, and fascia are mobilized.
Around 1.5 million athletes suffer a sports injury in Germany every year. In Switzerland, there were almost 440,000 people in 2018, including.
Athletes benefit enormously from an increased nitric oxide content in the body and the resulting dilated blood vessels. This increase:
