Flowtron DVT

Lightweight, breathable IPC calf garments for DVT prevention

Designed to provide comfort for the patient, simplicity for the user and flexibility for healthcare facilities. Flowtron® garments are effective in the prevention of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT).

Simple and effective DVT prevention

Adding compression to a limb using Flowtron garments increases blood velocity in the deep veins of that limb. This then reduces venous stasis (1) and stimulates fibrinolysis (2), which is the body’s natural method of preventing and breaking down blood clots.

Comfort and compliance

Lightweight, breathable fabric garments ensure comfort and help prevent the build-up of heat and moisture.

Easily identifiable garments means simple visual confirmation to ensure compliance with the patient’s prescribed DVT prevention treatment.
