Flowtron 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.
