Pneumatic control devices were constructed to apply negative pressure on targeted human skin areas to increase or decrease blood flow for improving laser therapy. The effect of pneumatic control on blood flow in a cutaneous skin region was evaluated using optical coherence tomography-angiography (OCT-A). Dynamic changes in blood flow under the application of negative pressure to the dorsal hand and forearm skin were confirmed in acquired OCT-A images. We also observed the device size-dependent difference in blood flow change. Results suggest the feasibility of bi-directional blood flow control using a pneumatic control device.
