• Subjects able to wear the Amadeus device and follow the requirements of the clinical investigation plan
• Subjects who have an ankle to brachial pressure index (ABPI) of ABPI >0.8
• Subjects with chronic lower limb oedema (i.e. CEAP classification of C3, C4 or C5 1.)
• Subjects who have Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI), which has been present for 6 weeks or longer and who have refluxes >0.5 sec in one or more major venous segments, superficial or deep or both (CEAP classification: C3-C5 1.; Ep,s; As,d; Pr).

Exclusion Criteria

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The nature and frequency of adverse events
Distal arterial flow

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Volume reduction will be measured by recording limb volume at the start and end of each profile for both legs. The test leg will be compared to baseline and the contralateral leg. Comfort during wear will be recorded on completion of each profile
