Modern Treatment for Arterial Disease and Prevention of DVT.
Advanced Smart Compression System for VTE Prevention
The Veinoflow SCD LBTK-M-I 5001 is an advanced smart compression system designed to aid in the prevention of Venous Thromboembolism (VTE), including Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and Pulmonary Embolism (PE). This system provides compression therapy for the leg, calf, foot, or both, offering foot-only, leg-only, or combined foot and leg/calf compression to enhance blood circulation and reduce the risk of clot formation.
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a condition in which a blood clot forms most often in the deep veins of the leg, groin or arm (known as deep vein thrombosis, DVT) and travels in the circulation, lodging in the lungs (known as pulmonary embolism, PE). Together, DVT and PE are known as VTE - a dangerous, potentially deadly medical condition.
The acceleration of blood flow and the frequency of compression are the correct criteria for judging the VTE mechanical prophylaxis efficacy,
not its mere garment size!
Modern therapy concepts for arterial disease is the key to the successful treatment of related diseases such as chronic wounds and ulcers.
Faster and long-term healing of persistent ulcers.
Significant enhancement of the arterial blood supply.
Active support of the venous function with chronic venous diseases.
Our lungs are constantly producing mucus. It is our natural way to keep the lungs clear of infection. In healthy lungs, patients swallow the mucus naturally. When a person is no longer able to effectively clear mucus from their lungs on their own, airway clearance therapy becomes increasingly important to help prevent infection and inflammation.
Lower Extremity Arteriosclerosis Obliterans (LEASO)
Arteriosclerosis obliterans is an occlusive arterial disease most prominently affecting the abdominal aorta and the small- and medium-sized arteries of the lower extremities, which may lead to absent dorsalis pedis, posterior tibial and popliteal artery pulses.
Cause
LEASO is common in middle-aged and elderly people, and is often associated with smoking, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and other risk factors. The presence and severity are affected by the speed of disease progression, the number of collateral circulations and individual tolerance. Symptoms generally develop gradually from mild to severe, but acute thrombosis on the basis of arteriosclerosis obliterans can lead to sudden aggravation of symptoms.
Symptoms
At early stage there might be no obvious symptoms, or only slight discomfort, such as cold, numbness etc. After that, intermittent claudication gradually will appear, which is the characteristic symptom of LEASO. After walking for a certain distance, patients will feel fatigue and pain and has to take a rest. When the disease develops, there will be rest pain. Finally, ulcers and gangrene can occur in the limbs.
