Accreditation bodies now recommend prophylaxis on surgeries 45 minutes and longer to prevent Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT). So compression therapy is no longer an option, it is a clinical recommendation. In over a dozen clinical articles, intermittent compression systems such as Venodyne are noted as a leading choice to stop DVT without the risk of post-op bleeding often associated with drug therapies. With clinically proven efficacy, patient compliance, and even lower cost per patient, the Venodyne intermittent compression system is a preferred answer to the risk of DVT.
Venodyne systems include:
Quick connect tubing
Easy slip-on calf length sleeves
Automatic pressure regulation... set it and forget it
Lightweight, rugged, portable power unit with whisper quiet operation
Convenient bedrail hanger
Visual and audible alarms with automatic shutdown if a problem arises
