AVACURA® is a fully automated therapy device that delivers controlled cold and heat stimuli via the palms of the hands. The application only takes a few minutes and activates the autonomic nervous system, promotes cell regeneration and increases heart rate variability (HRV).
Users simply place their hands on the contact surfaces. No changing clothes. No staff required.
The device applies controlled cold and heat stimuli that act directly via the sensitive capillaries in the palms of the hands.
The application increases heart rate variability, activates cell processes and improves mental focus and physical recovery – noticeable from the first application.
AVACURA® is the first fully automated thermoregulation system that administers cold and heat specifically via the palms of the hands – one of the most sensitive areas of the body. The result: more vitality, mental clarity, better HRV and profound recovery – without any physical exertion. Ideal for professionals in the health, wellness and performance sectors.

Using AVACURA is pleasant and uncomplicated. Only the palms of the hands are used to apply targeted cold and heat stimuli via a comfortable surface. The software-controlled interaction of temperature and negative pressure circulates appropriately stimulated blood in the body – without freezing or sweating.
AVACURA is a particularly gentle, non-invasive method of applying cold and heat stimuli – completely drug-free and with no known side effects. You simply place your palms on the designated areas in the device and the application runs automatically via the integrated software control.
Sessions lasting 2 minutes are recommended for sports applications. For applications as part of pain or regeneration programs, a rhythm of 5×2 minutes can be useful – ideally in consultation with medical professionals.
AVACURA combines specifically dosed cold and heat stimuli with a defined negative pressure via the palms of the hands. This has a thermal effect on the blood without constricting small vessels. The body’s reaction to this stimulation can trigger a variety of processes, from stimulating blood circulation to vegetative regulation.
No – although the stimuli are applied locally to the palms, the effect is potentially whole-body. The palms are closely connected to the autonomic nervous system and central thermoregulation, which can enable systemic effects. General promises of effectiveness are not made, as the reaction can vary from person to person.
No. AVACURA is designed so that you neither feel cold nor uncomfortable during use. The heat exchange is precisely regulated – there are no unpleasant side effects such as heavy sweating or cold pain.
The application of cold and heat stimuli via the palms of the hands was originally inspired by research conducted by the US Army in the 1990s. Stanford University developed these findings further and showed that the additional use of negative pressure can enhance the physiological effect – e.g. by keeping specific vascular connections (anastomoses) open in a targeted manner.
AVACURA allows individualized use, tailored to body size and weight. In case of health restrictions or uncertainties, a doctor should always be consulted before use.
Simply place your hands in the designated chamber – the device does the rest. The application is ready to use in just a few minutes, fully guided by the intuitive touch display. Presets make it particularly convenient to use – all you need to do is press a button.
The body automatically protects itself from direct heat by constricting the blood vessels. AVACURA, on the other hand, works with a defined negative pressure that specifically expands the vascular network in the palm of the hand. This allows the thermal stimulus to be introduced into the circulation efficiently and safely – without overheating or natural defense reactions.
For anyone looking for a drug-free, non-invasive solution to activate the body’s own regulatory mechanisms – e.g. to promote microcirculation, relaxation, regeneration or as a supplement to holistic health concepts.
No serious side effects have been documented to date. The gentle application, the airtight cuff system and the controlled temperature ensure maximum safety. Temporary redness or slight swelling of the hand may occur – these are considered harmless and usually disappear after a few applications.
This can be caused by the improved blood circulation as a result of the negative pressure. Slight itching or spotting is also possible in the initial period – especially when capillaries are activated for the first time. These effects are temporary and usually disappear within a few applications.
Every body reacts differently. Most users report noticeable improvements – be it in well-being, relaxation or the ability to regenerate. Try it out – without risk, with clear user guidance and professional standards.
