USB port for data management

Low pressure indicator

Power button and battery indicator

Soft, patient friendly sleeves

• Asymmetric compression-Rotation of the cuff allows the patient to

choose the most comfortable position for

optimal prophylaxis

• Truly portable-Lightweight design with no tubing

• Compliance monitoring to ensure therapy is being maintained-USB port to aid prescriber’s management

Indications• Aid in the prevention of DVT

• Can also be used as an aid in the prophylaxis for DVT by

persons expecting to be stationary for long periods of time

• Enhance blood circulation

• Diminish post-operative pain and swelling

• Reduce wound healing time

• Aid in the treatment and healing of: stasis dermatitis, venous

stasis ulcers, arterial and diabetic leg ulcers, chronic venous

insufficiency and reduction of oedema in the lower limbs

Operation Post-op hospital stay Home recovery period 6-12 weeks

OPPORTUNITY FOR VENAPRO

• Pharmaceuticals (e.g. anti-coagulants)• Mechanical Compression• Anti-embolism stockings (VenaPure™)• Intermittent Pneumatic Pumps (VenaFlow™ Elite)

• Pharmaceuticals - variable duration• Anti-embolism stockings - not always available

VTE exists!• Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is potentially fatal– an estimated 10-30% of all patients die within 30 days – mostly

from PE1. The remaining patients may develop post-thrombotic syndrome and chronic venous insufficiency – life long

conditions2.

• The risk of VTE may extend up to 3 months after surgery3, highlighted by a recent study: 2.27% for primary hip arthroplasty

and 1.79% for total knee arthroplasty4.

Preventing VTE through the care continuum• Guidelines recommend extended thromboprophylaxis up to 35 days5

• ACCP (American College of Chest Physicians)

state that if IPC is to be used, it should be

“portable, battery powered and preferably

capable of measuring compliance”5. Patients

need an external compression therapy system

that will allow them to be mobile yet still

providing rhythmic compression resulting in

good peak venous flows6.
