A-V IMPULSE Controller by Novamedix: A pneumatic compression device for the prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and the improvement of blood circulation in at-risk patients.
The A-V IMPULSE foot compression system addresses the discomfort commonly associated with pneumatic leg compression therapy, aiming to enhance patient comfort and satisfaction. Patients often experience issues such as sweat, itchiness, skin irritation, pressure, and heat, which can hinder compliance with treatment protocols. To alleviate these concerns, the system incorporates innovative design elements that prioritize patient comfort, ultimately improving adherence to therapy.
One key feature of the A-V IMPULSE system is the ImPad rigid sole foot covers, which are specifically engineered to enhance patient comfort during treatment sessions. These foot covers feature elements designed to mitigate discomfort, allowing patients to undergo compression therapy with greater ease. By addressing factors such as pressure and heat, the system helps minimize patient discomfort and promote a more positive treatment experience.
Moreover, the design of the ImPad rigid sole foot covers facilitates the hemodynamic effect of ambulation, mimicking the natural process of walking. With each step, the rigid sole flattens the plantar arch, facilitating the emptying of the venous plexus and promoting blood flow towards the heart. This mechanism not only enhances circulation but also contributes to the effective evacuation of blood from the bottom of the foot, further supporting therapeutic outcomes.
The A-V IMPULSE foot compression system operates according to default specifications optimized for efficacy and patient comfort. These specifications include a pressure of 130 mmHg, rapid inflation simulating the weight-bearing process, a hold time of 3 seconds, and a deflation period of 20 seconds. Additionally, the system incorporates unique design features such as vent holes, a cushioned foot cover, an anatomically shaped bladder, and a dorsum wrap, all of which contribute to its effectiveness and patient comfort.
Indicated for circulation enhancement, deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism prophylaxis, edema management, and pain relief, the A-V IMPULSE foot compression system offers a comprehensive solution for various vascular conditions. By prioritizing patient comfort and incorporating innovative design features, it helps optimize therapeutic outcomes and improve patient compliance with treatment regimens.
