What is the Veinoflow SCD system?
The Veinoflow SCD system is designed to apply intermittent pneumatic compression to increase venous blood flow. The System consists of the controller, the tubing sets (provided with the controller) and single-patient use garments (purchased separately from this controller).
The garments, both leg sleeves and foot cuffs, compress the limbs to enhance venous blood movement. After the compression, the controller measures the time it takes for the limbs to refill with blood and waits that period of time before the next compression is initiated.
The garments are made of a soft, lightweight, non-woven material. The soft inner & outer liners promote patient comfort and compliance.
The Veinoflow SCD offering the user the option of two different types of compression with one controller – leg/calf compression and foot compression. It also allows for foot only compression, leg/claf only compression, or combined foot and leg/calf compression. This gives the end user more flexibility for treatment options.
The battery operation makes the device transportable for uninterrupted protection throughout a patient’s stay in the hospital. The more active or mobile patients can continue the protection without being tethered to a wall outlet.
It includes a flexible and transportable design, audible and visible alerts for any error and a large LCD screen for visibility.
