Instead of pushing blood and fluids away from the legs back toward torso and head, the Chibis suit drew fluid back down to the legs. This was to counteract the tendency of fluids to accumulate in the head in weightlessness. It was also used post-flight for recovery after long flights. Chibis means 'Lapwing' in Russian. The suit has a mass of 8.7 kg; "Chibis" (Lapwing) leggings worn in the final 2-4 weeks before return to Earth to stress the cardiovascular system. It is also used as a test device during the stay of a long duration crew. The "Chibis is a lower body negative pressure device similar to the LBNP unit flown on many Space Shuttle flights in an attempt to reduce orthostatic intolerance on landing by applying -10 to -45 torr reduced pressure to the legs.     We normally ship within 24 hours of payment cleared excluding local holiday and weekend.
