The phlebological pedestal screen-patient is a device which maintains the patient up, man or woman, on a convenient height so that an explorer sitting next to him, can accede to the complete leg and haunch from the ingle to the foot’s plant and to carry out the manual and instrumental necessary exploratory manoeuvres. As a result, the explorer can perfectly look into the explored member and obtain the anatomical and hemodinamic information of the venous system (so-called venous map).

The phlebological screen-patient pursues and achieves three basic objectives:

A) To obtain immediately and without long explanations and trials that the patient, situated upon the phlebological screen-patient, adopt the adequate position to carry out the venous exploration of the studied member. In that position, the patient should have the leg in study, with the knee slightly bent in order to reach muscular relaxation. The weight of the body must be loaded upon the other extremity with the necessary pelvis accommodation to maintain the axis of gravity.

B) The rotation of the patient, making accessible all the contour of the member without altering the position of the realised exploration.

C) Applicable to both members in alternative way without complex adaptations or changes of its structure.

Other aims would be the possibility of motorization as well as to be utilizable as stool of access to a conventional exploration table of standard height and to be adoptable to the phlebological table Canymus.

In summary, it serves for positioning correctly the patient with chronic venous insufficiency of the lower members, and makes possible the manual and instrumental explorations. That brings to the correct anatomic and hemodinamic diagnostic represented by venous cartography or varicose map.
