PHLEBO PRESS® DVT
DVT, or deep vein thrombosis, is the formation and release of blood clots (thrombi) inside the deep veins, most often in the legs. PE (pulmonary embolism) occurs when one of these thrombi becomes lodged in the lungs. Together, these conditions are referred to as VTE, or venous thromboembolism. DVT can cause significant, crippling damage. PE is a life-threatening event.
A primary cause of DVT is immobility during and after surgery, and during hospitalization. The muscles used in walking press on the veins in the legs, pumping blood towards the heart. Without this activity, blood flow slows.
DVT Prevention
Methods to prevent DVT include clot-preventing drugs, pneumatic compression, anti-embolism stockings, and early ambulation.
Pneumatic compression
Pneumatic compression, also called IPC (intermittent pneumatic compression) or SPC (sequential pneumatic compression) is effective and inexpensive, with very few adverse effects.
It can be used in patients at risk of bleeding, or in combination with pharmaceutical prophylaxis.
Phlebo Press ® DVT offers the most advanced pneumatic compression systems, with its unique features and innovative sleeves, for effective, easy and comfortable use !
Phlebo Press® DVT uses air and a soft, conforming, inflatable garment (“sleeve”) to apply compression to the leg. This replicates the action of walking and increases blood flow in the deep veins of the legs. The pump is used until the patient is ambulatory or according to physician orders.
Phlebo Press® DVT systems deliver the "gold standard" of pneumatic compression therapy-gradient, sequential, circumferential compression – with precise, calibrated pressure profiles and timings that have been clinically proven most effective for maximum increase of venous blood flow volume and velocity in the deep veins of the legs. A variety of garment configurations are available: thigh length, knee length, foot only, and our proprietary foot-calf design.
DVT and PE can both be effectively treated, but prevention is by far the best method of defense.
Phlebo Press® DVT Indications:
Phlebo Press® DVT is prescribed to help prevent deep vein thrombosis in patients who may be susceptible.
Cautions and Warnings:
- Exercise caution when using on patients whose extremities are insensitive to pain.
- If patient experiences pain, tingling or numbness in the treated area, stop treatment, remove the sleeves and notify the supervising physician.
- This device is for sale and use by, or on the order of, a physician.
Phlebo Press® DVT Contraindications:
Do not use the Phlebo Press® DVT in the presence of the following conditions:
- Known or suspected Deep Vein Thrombosis, congestive heart failure, pulmonary edema, thrombophlebitis, severe arteriosclerosis, or active infections
- In the presence of any sudden pain or numbness
- On extremities that are not sensitive to pain
- Vein ligation or other ischemic vascular diseases
- When increased venous or lymphatic return is undesirable
- Extreme deformity of the limbs
- Gangrene, recent skin grafts, dermatitis
Phlebo Press® Models
