If blood travels too slowly and starts to pool in the leg veins , the pressure can force too much fluid out of the leg capillaries into the tissue spaces.
The main difference between the two is the pressure and flow. High pressure removal uses water at 2,000–15,000 psi (14,000–103,000 kPa) at up to 30 US gallons per minute (1.9 L/s) while ultra high pressure removal uses up to 40,000 psi (280,000 kPa) with a water usage between 6 and 16 US gallons per minute (0.38 and 1.01 L/s) .
