DVT Pump for rent
A DVT pump, or a compression therapy device, is a medical device used to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) by promoting blood flow in the lower extremities. It applies intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) to the legs, which helps to improve circulation and prevent the formation of blood clots. The device consists of inflatable cuffs that are wrapped around the patient's calves, thighs, or both, and a pump that inflates and deflates the cuffs in a specific sequence. This gentle massage-like action helps to improve venous blood flow and reduces the risk of blood clots. DVT pumps are commonly used in hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare settings, particularly after surgeries or in patients who are immobile or at risk of developing DVT. They are non-invasive, safe, and effective in promoting blood flow and preventing DVT, improving patient outcomes, and reducing healthcare costs associated with DVT complications.
