FDA approves Mark of Fitness' RevitaLeg massager

NORTH BRUNSWICK, N.J. Mark of Fitness received approval from the Food and Drug Administration for its RevitaLeg portable compression massager for the temporary relief from muscle aches and pains and the promotion of an increase in circulation.

Mark of Fitness touted the product’s portability—it’s no bigger than a soda can—and suggested that air travelers may be a key demographic, because long flights can lead to the development of deep vein thrombosis. According to the World Health Organization, traveling by plane, bus or train for four hours or more doubles the risk of developing DVT.

RevitaLeg will begin shipping in May, and will be sold through home care dealers, retail pharmacies, specialty stores and online. The suggested retail price is $149, and the product may be qualified for reimbursement under certain health plans and for specific conditions, the company stated.
