Strap-on DVT Prevention
Now you can send your patients home with lightweight compression pumps that they strap around
their calves to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This wearable device is called Venowave. Patients
can use the Venowave in the surgical setting and continue it at home after discharge while they're
still at risk for developing DVT. The cordless and tubeless sequential calf pump uses a waveform
motion to increase circulation. Patients attach the pumps to the backs of their calves with Velcro
straps and leg wraps so they can remain mobile while receiving treatment.
