KENDALL SCD 700 SERIES – Intelligent compression for medical prevention
The KENDALL SCD 700 SERIES compression therapy device from Covidien represents a major advance in the prevention of deep vein thrombosis and the management of circulatory disorders. Designed to deliver intermittent sequential pneumatic compression, it effectively stimulates venous return and reduces the risk of post-operative complications or chronic conditions. Thanks to cutting-edge technology, it adapts the therapy to each patient's physiology, while ensuring optimal comfort and ease of use in hospital or home care settings.
This system is based on an innovative principle: automatic detection of vascular filling time. After each compression cycle, the device measures the time required for blood to return to the treated limbs before starting the next cycle. This process allows treatment to be individualised and synchronised with the patient's actual needs. The integrated algorithm adjusts the compression rhythm completely autonomously, without manual intervention, significantly reducing the risk of overcompression or therapeutic failure.
The user interface is intuitive and clear. A visual display shows key information about the system status, battery level, any anomalies and the selected compression mode. The practitioner can choose between leg or foot compression depending on the clinical indication. The configuration is done directly via buttons A and B on the control panel. In addition, the device is equipped with a therapy compliance counter that records the actual treatment time to ensure optimal compliance throughout the hospital stay.
Lightweight and compact, the KENDALL SCD 700 SERIES can be attached to the foot of the bed or placed on a flat surface. It operates either from the mains or from its internal rechargeable battery, making it particularly suitable for mobile care services or emergency situations. Its quiet and robust design makes it a reliable, discreet device that is easy to integrate into clinical routines without disturbing patients or medical staff.
Compatible with a wide range of Kendall disposable sleeves (legs, feet, comfort or sterile versions), the system adapts to all patient profiles. It is particularly recommended for the prevention of DVT, the treatment of oedema, the management of post-traumatic or post-surgical pain, and venous ulcers and insufficiency. Its built-in safety features, visual and audible alert systems and automatic calibration make it a valuable tool for healthcare teams looking for reliability, efficiency and time savings.
