The Sterilmed BluFlex DVT Prophylaxis System is a non-invasive intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) device designed to prevent and reduce deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a potentially life-threatening condition caused by blood clots in deep veins, especially in immobile or post-surgical patients. The system applies controlled inflation pressure through soft, pliable single-patient-use compression garments for the legs or feet, helping to augment venous blood flow and stimulate fibrinolysis, thereby reducing the risk of clot formation.
Key Features:
- Compression Garments: Includes calf, thigh, and foot garments made from latex-free material, designed for patient comfort and effective pressure delivery
- Compression Pressures: Pre-set inflation pressures of 35-55 mmHg for calf/thigh compression and 75-100 mmHg for foot compression
- Device Components: Pump with swing-out hooks for easy placement, air hoses, and compression garments
- User Interface: Simple to operate with clear power indicators and audible beep on operation start
- Safety and Contraindications: Not recommended for patients with severe cardiac failure, ischemic vascular disease, DVT, pulmonary embolism, gangrene, dermatitis, or skin grafts without physician approval
- Power Requirements: AC 100-240V, 60/50Hz
- Dimensions and Weight: Approximately 31.5 x 11 x 19.5 cm pump size, weighing about 3.1 kg
- Tubing Sets: Different tubing lengths (60" and 120") available for use in various clinical settings such as operation and recovery rooms
- Latex-Free Garments for safe use among patients with latex sensitivities
- Intended Environment: Suitable for use in hospital or clinical environments to provide mechanical thromboprophylaxis
