ArjoHuntleigh, Flowtron®, AC550, Sequential Compression Device (DVT Prevention)
The FLOWTRON system is a clinically effective, non-invasive, mechanical prophylaxis system designed to reduce the incidence of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) during all types of major surgery including orthopedic, trauma, urological and general surgery. It is also suitable for other patient groups including neurology, critical care, general medical and obstetrics. By providing compression to a limb via calf or thigh length garments, it increases blood velocity in the deep veins, reduces stasis1 and stimulates fibrinolysis2, the body's natural method for preventing and breaking down clots.
