Venafow DVT Aircast System

Aircast® pioneered graduated, pneumatic compression for
the functional management of orthopedic injuries. Te
VenaFlow system evolved from this unique experience, and
from performance principles established by earlier researchers
in pneumatic compression. VenaFlow provides intermittent
pneumatic compression as a prophylaxis for deep vein
thrombosis.
Designed as a prophylaxis for Deep Vein Trombosis, the
VenaFlow System combines two proven technologies, rapid
infation and graduated sequential compression, to accelerate
venous velocity and enhance fbrinolysis. For the superior
emptying of veins, VenaFlow also incorporates asymmetric
compression.
Te breathable and comfortable calf, foot and thigh cufs
enhance the patient experience and are compatible with one
universal pump.
Function
Te cufs are applied, pump and tube assembly connected, and
pump turned on. Compression is rapid, graduated and sequential
for maximum efectiveness. Te distal aircell infates rapidly,
then settles to 52 mmHg ±10%, and the proximal aircell follows
in .3 seconds to settle at 45 mmHg ±10%. After 6 seconds of
compression, the cufs defate. Tis cycle repeats every minute.
When the pump is activated, the peak pressures gradually rise
through the frst fve minutes of operation. Tis allows the patient
to gradually adjust to the treatment.
Te VenaFlow system should not be used by persons with known
or suspected deep vein thrombosis, congestive heart failure,
pulmonary edema, thrombophlebitis, severe arteriosclerosis, or
active infection. Do not use on extremities which are not sensitive
to pain, where cuf will interfere with gangrene, on patients with
vein ligation or recent skin grafts, or extreme deformity of the
leg. Do not use the VenaFlow system where increased venous or
lymphatic return is undesirable.
