“Walk Away from Risk” and reduce DVT with the new VenaFlow Elite
 

DJO continues their global healthcare commitment to prevent deep vein thrombosis by introducing the new VenaFlow® Elite System under the banner “Walk Away from Risk”. Based on the clinically proven VenaFlow® platform technology, the new light-weight state-of-the-art design is user friendly and extremely portable and now features a new low profile.   

It is the only DVT compression device that combines normal inflation AND graduated, sequential compression. This unique technological combination makes it the only device proven to mimic ambulatory physiologic blood flows.

VenaFlow® Elite’s ability to mimic ambulation makes it more effective at preventing DVT  and has been proven to reduce the incidence of DVT by 50% vs. slow inflation devices  on the market.  DJO’s clinical team believe that the device will not only be used in general surgical procedures conducted under normal conditions, but its genuine portability may well prove of significant benefit for surgical teams in disaster relief areas, such as Haiti, where trauma procedures are carried out in very difficult circumstances.
