VPULSE Thermal Compression Pad (Pad Only)
$92.95 – $185.90 Inc GST
VPULSE helps patients achieve complete, comfortable recoveries through delivery of three distinct therapies:
- Rapid impulse calf compression to help prevent Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
- Cold therapy to reduce operative site discomfort and inflammation
- Wound compression to reduce operative site inflammation
VPULSE improves patient outcomes, reduces the total cost of the orthopedic episode and increases patient satisfaction to deliver more time well spent.
Product Benefits
Lowers Risk of Venous Thromboembolism (VTE)
VPULSE lowers incidence of VTE after major orthopedic surgery compared to
pharmacological prophylaxis. VTE is the leading factor for hospital readmission
following major orthopedic surgery the most common preventable cause of
hospital death.
Provides Possible Alternative to Anticoagulants
VPULSE offers physicians another option to help tailor preventative care
to patient risk and provides an alternative for patients contraindicated for
anticoagulants.
Provides Convenient Home Therapy
As hospital stays continue to shorten, VPULSE provides a solution for
patients to take home and keep. This allows facilities to offer mechanical DVT
prophylaxis for the 2-3 weeks patients need it most, without the hassle of
renting or servicing equipment.
Improves Patient Experience
Combining three therapies into one convenient device optimizes patient
comfort during recovery. With motorized cold therapy and accompanying
water bottles, patients avoid the hassle of frequently switching out ice cubes or
gel packs.
May Improve Compliance
The added comfort of cold and compression therapies may increase patient
compliance compared to DVT prophylaxis alone. A removable data card
records patient compliance to enable physician monitoring.
Lowers Total Cost
Bundled payment of care initiatives are driving single payment for an
orthopedic episode within 30 days of surgery, including costly DVT
readmissions. By reducing DVT-related expenses and potentially reducing costs
for anticoagulant regimes or compression device rental programs, VPULSE
helps reduce the total cost of the episode.
