machine to prevent blood clots in legs
I have many features to fight with blood clots that form in the legs. The intermittent pneumatic compression device (ipcd), which is also called a blood clot prevention device in the leg, is designed to promote blood flow to the lower limbs. It compresses muscles in the calves first and then those in the thighs. An advanced, computerized device with pneumatic air-powered cuffs that zip up around your leg and mimic the action of muscle contraction and relaxation during walking on an adjustable machine that does just that through inflating or deflating its legging-sleeves one at a time. Technological features of this machine include custom settings for pressure and cycle time according to the patient's needs, a light and portable design for easy use, and an easy-to-use interface. For such sophisticated technology, the practical applications are numerous-ranging from post-surgical recovery to the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency. It is especially helpful for those who are immobile and at high risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (dvt) though it may not be a cure-all in every case.
