A LBNP chamber is commonly used to investigate hemodynamic, military and aerospace-related research questions. The application of negative pressure to the lower body leads to the translocation of blood from the central cavity to the periphery; essentially decreasing central blood volume similar to that which occurs during acute hemorrhage, orthostasis, and acceleration. The Technavance Solution provides researchers with a wide range of options to customize this well-established apparatus for such investigations. In addition to an economical entry-level system, custom configurations incorporating an integrated bed, motorized tilt options and fully-automated pressure control capabilities are also available. Large capacity chambers for integrated ergometers and are also offered. User-friendly software, provided with automated systems, provides the additional feature of enabling investigators to fully customize vacuum test protocols.
