About Vekroosan® Calf Compression Devices

DVT Solutions Pty. Ltd (Australia) has been dedicated to developing new technologies with innovations in treating and preventing complications of chronic venous disease since 2006.

Our Vision: To provide solutions to the growing epidemic of Chronic Venous Thrombosis. DVT Solutions Pty.Ltd is proud to showcase their research collaboration product, Vekroosan®, sequential calf compression devices which have been designed specifically to meet the following requirements in helping affected individuals with chronic varicose veins-related disorders. In collaboration with biomedical engineers, university-based research teams and hospital-based medical researchers, these products have evolved over the past 16 years.

The Vekroosan Mini, Midi, and Max are not just any leg compression machine for home use but a beacon of innovation in lymphedema compression pumps for legs. Each model is crafted with precision to ensure not only ease of use but also to optimise therapeutic outcomes for users dealing with venous disorders and leg swelling.

Vekroosan Mini

Vekroosan Mini is a TGA-approved and CE-certified product with medically proven benefits in patients with chronic venous disorders or chronic leg swelling and pain sufferers. It is also helpful in patients who suffer from Lymphoedema-associated symptoms. It has shown benefits in pregnant women with leg swelling and pain but after medical assessment excluding any acute venous thrombosis.

Notably, the Vekroosan Mini serves as an effective compression machine for leg swelling. Its design is optimised for individuals dealing with chronic conditions, making it an essential leg compression machine for circulation enhancement.

Vekroosan Midi

Vekroosan Midi is a TGA-approved product with medically proven benefits in patients with chronic venous disorders or chronic leg swelling and pain sufferers. It is safe to use in patients post-operatively or at home to reduce DVT risk once any acute medical issues are cleared medically.

It is also helpful in patients who suffer from lymphoedema-associated symptoms. It has shown benefits in pregnant women with leg swelling and pain after medical assessment, excluding any acute venous thrombosis.

The Midi is your go-to leg compression machine for varicose veins, leveraging its three chambers that function in sequence to maximise effectiveness, mirroring the best hospital leg compression pump technologies but designed for home use.

Vekroosan Max

Vekroosan Max has medically proven benefits in patients with chronic venous disorders or chronic leg swelling and pain sufferers. It is also helpful in patients who suffer from Lymphoedema-associated symptoms. It has shown benefits in pregnant women with leg swelling and pain after medical assessment, excluding any acute venous thrombosis.

Its use postoperatively in patients who have undergone orthopaedic surgeries, spinal, abdominal or pelvic surgeries have been proven and should be used under medical supervision in hospital inpatients.

As a leading compression machine for legs after surgery, the Vekroosan Max sets a high standard in post-operative care, aligning with the most stringent clinical trial standards to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Understanding the Functionality of Lymphedema Compression Pumps for Legs

Lymphedema compression pumps for legs are designed to provide a mechanical therapy that mimics the natural muscle contractions of the legs, promoting lymph fluid circulation and reducing swelling. The leg compression machine for lymphedema employs a series of air-filled chambers that sequentially inflate and deflate, wrapping around the leg and exerting pressure that moves lymph fluid from the lower extremities back towards the heart. This enhances overall circulation and prevents the fluid from pooling, which is a common issue in lymphedema patients.

The Mechanism Behind Leg Compression Machines

The operational principle of lymphedema compression pumps for legs involves applying controlled pressure to the legs through multi-chambered cuffs. These cuffs expand in a carefully-orchestrated sequence that closely resembles the muscle contractions during physical activities, hence the effectiveness of a leg compression machine for circulation. This process not only supports the lymphatic system but also boosts venous return, which is vital for maintaining healthy blood flow and reducing the risk of venous thrombosis.

Advantages of Using Lymphedema Compression Pumps

The benefits of using lymphedema compression pumps for legs are manifold. First and foremost, they significantly reduce the physical discomfort associated with lymphedema, such as swelling and feelings of heaviness in the legs. They also enhance mobility and quality of life for patients who may struggle with these symptoms on a daily basis. Moreover, regular use of a leg compression machine for varicose veins can help in managing and mitigating the severity of varicose veins by improving blood flow and reducing venous pressure.

For those recovering from surgery, the compression machine for legs after surgery can play a crucial role in post-operative care by minimising the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and speeding up the recovery process. Given their efficacy and ease of use, these devices are excellent options for both clinical settings as a hospital leg compression pump and at-home care as a leg compression machine for home use. They provide a proactive approach to managing and treating venous and lymphatic disorders, ensuring that patients can maintain an active and less restricted lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions ( FAQs)

Why is Vekroosan better than other hospital devices?

Mobile & battery operated
More efficient due to three chambers that function in sequence
Only medical device that has undergone extensive clinical trials and large laboratory testing with proven benefits in patients who have undergone orthopaedic, spinal or abdominal/pelvic surgeries.
Useful for rehab patients or patients unable to use compression stockings.
What are the Calf Compression Devices used for:
Intermittent pneumatic calf compression devices are used to help prevent blood clots in deep veins in the legs. It is a mobile unit that does not require any cords and the device uses cuffs which wrap around the legs and sequentially squeezes to make sure the blood flow through the veins of your legs and prevents blood clots. It is battery operated that requires recharging.
How long to use the Device for:
The Device should be used for at least one to two hours per day during the afternoons preferably and it can be used one hour at a time. It can be used whilst you are mobile as it is battery operated.
Should I re-charge the batteries every night:
It should be re-charged only when the battery runs out or if you are planning trips away from home. It can be used during long car or air travel.
Can I use the Device whilst it is being charged:
No. Please do not use whilst it is currently being charged and it can only be used when it is not connected to the power point.
Can the Device be used if I have pain in the legs:
Please do not use the Device if there is any skin infections or severe pain in the leg as it requires medical assessment and exclusion of any acute clotting or skin infection (cellulitis). Under these circumstances it should not be used until medically assessed and cleared.
Can I use the Device during air travel:
It can be used if there is no skin breaks or any severe pain of the leg and it is useful for long air travel as well as road travel to reduce risk of leg swelling and associated pain.
What are the risk of the use of Calf Compression Devices:
In some patients the calf compression can cause discomfort and sweating under the calf with the garment and very rarely pressure injury. Hence recommend not to use if calf pain increases with the use of the Device.
Can I use the device instead of compression stockings?
It is superior to stockings in achieving calf compression and venous blood flow and easier to put them on and take them off.
Can this be used if you have a pace maker?
Yes, it can be safely used as it is a battery operated unit but should not be plugged into power when using the device.
