Guard Against DVT With Our Premier Compression Equipment For Legs — Protection You Can Trust!

Vekroosan® Sequential Calf Compression Device (SCCD)

Designed to apply modulated external sequential pneumatic pressure to lower limbs of patients with chronic venous disorders, sufferers of Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT) and related complications. Vekroosan® is an innovative device used to control fluid stasis as a result of chronic venous insufficiency of the lower limbs.

What Does VEKROOSAN Do?

Vekroosan is an easy-to-use, mobile calf compression device designed to prevent and treat Deep Vein Thrombosis, Chronic Venous Discorder and related vein abnormalities.

It comprises of a sequential calf compression mechanism that is attached to the calf garment that easily wraps around the calf. You can gently walk while wearing the device.

It is a class 2 device approved by the TGA (Australia)

Vekroosan was developed by a team of Hematologists, biomedical engineers, hospital researchers and nurses over 15 years.

It is a medically proven device in reducing leg swelling, pain and reduction in risk of DVT both in hospitalised patients and those in the wider community.

Efficiency

Vekroosan® can also be used in combination with anticoagulation therapy to help reduce the incidence of DVT in patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery. Vekroosan is much easier to put on the leg that compression stockingsespecially after an operation.

Safety

The design incorporates pneumatic pressure control and batter management circuitry to mitigate the risk of vascular constriction and injury to the user.

Low Cost

To assist in the widespread adoption of the DVT Solutions product.

Hygiene

The cuff (air bladder) in physical contact with the patient had been made a separate (potentially disposable) entity from the electronic pump assembly. This allows the cuff to be discarded when soiled/damaged and a new one “clipped” onto the pump at a minimal cost.

Reliability

To be useful in treating chronic venous conditions, an operational life of at least a year (assuming daily usage) is desirable. This requirement strongly influences the cost of the primary components – the internal air pumps.

Understanding Leg Compression Solutions

Leg compression solutions, such as compression equipment for legs, are designed to apply consistent pressure to the legs, assisting in the circulation of blood and lymphatic fluids. These devices, including calf compression devices and sequential compression devices for legs, are essential in medical and therapeutic environments. By mimicking the natural pumping action of the muscles, these circulation devices for legs help maintain venous flow and reduce the risk of clotting, making them crucial for patients with mobility issues or those recovering from surgery.

The Versatility Of Leg Compression Devices

Compression equipment for legs serves multiple applications across healthcare and wellness fields. As a primary calf compression device, it aids individuals recovering from surgeries, particularly where mobility is temporarily reduced. Sequential compression devices for legs are also used in treating conditions like Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) by providing necessary limb movement that mimics muscle contractions. This category of circulation devices for legs is increasingly popular in sports therapy and home care settings, proving its versatility and essential role in preventive and therapeutic health practices.

Advantages Of Using Leg Compression Devices

There are numerous benefits to using compression equipment for legs. Firstly, these devices, including the specialised DVT leg compression device, play a pivotal role in preventing Deep Vein Thrombosis, a significant risk for patients post-surgery or those who are bedridden. Additionally, using a calf compression device regularly can greatly enhance blood circulation, thereby speeding up recovery times and reducing swelling. Sequential compression devices for legs not only improve vascular health but also support overall limb health by ensuring adequate blood flow and reducing the likelihood of circulatory complications. Each use of these circulation devices for legs contributes to a healthier, more active lifestyle, even in the face of chronic health issues.

Cuff Pump Features

The Cuff Pump has been designed with the following feature set in mind. Additional features may be added until the design is finalised.

The pump sequentially inflates/deflates three independently-controlled pneumatic chambers according to programmed intervals/durations
The chamber pressures are programmable to any value between 10 – 80 mmHg, by the manufacturing team

Charging of the pump is performed via a mini-USB connector and supplied +5V, 1A mains/USB charger

Safety monitoring while running and a self-check on initial boot.

Specifications

The pump is attached to the cuff by three spring-loaded plastic hooks which protrude through the pump housing from a rigid plastic ‘backbone’ affixed to the cuff. Pneumatic connections are made to the bladder compartments via blunt (hollow) protrusions, which mate with a receptacle (and sealing o-ring) in the base of the pump assembly. In order to change the cuff, the spring clips are squeezed together by the user, and the pump is lifted off the cuff. The pump is then replaced over the (keyed) plastic hooks of the replacement cuff.

Statistics

More than 15,000 Australians develop Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) each year, with approximately 5,000 of these cases resulting in death. Around the world, the overall incidence ranges from 0.75 to 2.7 cases per 1,000 people. The financial cost of VTE was reported at $1.72 billion, of which $148 million was direct health system expenditure. The indirect costs of premature death and disability add up to $20 billion per year.

VTE is more common than the most common types of cancers and accounts for the fifth leading cause of death in 2003.

Blood clots may be prevented with appropriate therapy in most cases.
