KAATSU C4

The KAATSU C4 is built for people who want results without complication. It delivers the core KAATSU experience in its most dependable form. Used by clinicians, trainers, and everyday users alike, the C4 supports strength, recovery, and circulation through gentle, repeatable sessions that fit naturally into daily routines. No app, no distractions. Just a reliable tool that helps your body do what it already knows how to do—adapt, recover, and perform.

DESIGNED FOR REAL-WORLD USE

Ruggedized, compact, and easy to operate, the C4 is made to perform in clinics, gyms, homes, and outdoors. It’s a device that's ready when you are.

PROVEN KAATSU PROTOCOLS

The C4 runs the original KAATSU Cycles that gently guide blood flow through timed inflation and release. This rhythm is the foundation of KAATSU’s effects on circulation, muscle activation, and recovery.

SIMPLE CONTROLS, PRECISE PRESSURE

A clear touchscreen and preset pressure ranges remove guesswork while still allowing fine control. You get consistency from session to session without needing technical knowledge.

TRUSTED ACROSS AGES AND CONDITIONS

From active adults to rehab settings, the C4 supports a wide range of users. Its design prioritizes comfort, gradual progression, and repeatability—especially important for people over 50 or those returning from injury.
