Sequential compression pump only, The DVT-PRO device is a specialized intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) system to prevent DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) and PE (Pulmonary Embolism) by improving the venous blood flow in at risk patients.
An electrically-powered device 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 with the necessary pressure to promote venous blood flow. This is achieved through the sequential inflation and deflation of the multi-chambered stocking/sleeve/suit applied to the extremities. 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.
