The Phlebo Press® DVT system is a pneumatic compression therapy system used to help prevent deep vein thrombosis in patients who may be susceptible. It may also be used to treat conditions as listed in the Indications for Use. The massage action applied by the garments compresses the treated areas to enhance blood flow and reduce stasis. Intermittent and sequential pneumatic compression enhances fibrinolytic activity to reduce the risk of clot formation.
An electrically-powered device intended to be used for the noninvasive treatment and prevention of venous disorders/sequelae. As part of a compression system, the pump provides the connected stocking/sleeve/suit applied to the extremities with the necessary pressure to promote venous blood flow through its sequential inflation and deflation. Also referred to as a pump, it typically consists of a compressor with advanced control/timing mechanism, pressure limiting device, tubing, and connectors. The resulting increased venous blood flow may help to treat/prevent oedema, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) in non-ambulatory patients or patients at risk.
