Description

The VENAPRESS IPC Sleeve Calf by Total Compression Solutions is a specialized medical device designed to aid in the management and prevention of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and peripheral edema. This compression garment is intended for use with intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) systems, making it particularly suitable for clinical settings. It is ideal for patients who are immobile, undergoing surgery, anesthesia, or experiencing extended bed rest. Additionally, it may be beneficial for those managing lymphedema.

Key Features

• Sequential Compression Therapy: The sleeve applies wavelike, sequential compression to the calf, enhancing blood flow and reducing the risk of blood pooling.

• Multi-Layer Construction:

• Inner Layer: Made from moisture-wicking materials such as polyester or CoolMax®, effectively managing moisture by transporting it away from the skin.
• Intermediate Layers: Composed of pliable PVC, forming multiple inflatable bladders that wrap around the limb.

• Outer Cover: A breathable, stretchable polyester mesh that may include hydrophilic fibers for improved evaporation.

• Inflatable Bladders: These bladders are independently inflatable and feature strategically placed openings to maximize breathability and moisture evaporation. They are designed to pressurize at varying levels to promote optimal blood flow towards the heart.

Comfort and Fit

• Elasticity: Both the inner and outer layers are elastically stretchable, ensuring comfort and accommodating any swelling.

• Secure Fit: Features bifurcated flaps and a hook-and-loop fastening system for an adjustable, secure fit. Bridge members and rigid tubes help maintain proper positioning, preventing collapse or slippage.

• Design: Includes a knee opening aligned with the back of the knee for anatomical fit in some versions.

Moisture Management

The sleeve's design includes engineered openings and wicking materials that provide high evaporation rates, enhancing cooling and comfort. This results in a device that is soft, flexible, and non-irritating, minimizing bulkiness while maximizing mobility. There is no need for a separate compression stocking underneath.
