About Geko
Firstkind develops the geko device, a knee-worn medical device that uses neuromuscular electrostimulation to activate muscle pumps and increase blood circulation. The technology addresses three clinical challenges: preventing venous thromboembolism in acute stroke and post-operative patients, accelerating chronic wound healing, and managing trauma related oedema. The company partners with NHS hospital trusts and universities in multi-centre randomised controlled trials. Evidence shows the device doubles wound healing rates in venous leg ulcers and reduces VTE risk in immobile patients, offering clinicians a non-invasive alternative to compression and pharmacological interventions.
