V2: Stornoway entrepreneur’s sales of Legflow to tackle life-threatening DVT soar

Paul Westerman (55) was promised a £55,000 investment by Dragon Touker Suleyman for his RBR Legflow that counters the life-threatening deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

Mr Westerman began researching and developing the legflow after, he says, he nearly died when he collapsed just nine days before his wedding in 2011 only to discover he had developed a deep vein thrombosis on his right leg.

He says the legflow works by allowing users to keep their feet moving while sitting down and increases blood flow to the lower limbs over 10-fold, significantly reducing the risk of developing a DVT, which can be fatal.
