Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a venous return disorder caused by abnormal blood coagulation in the deep veins, which often occurs in the lower extremities, which can be a life-threatening event. Dislodged thrombus can cause pulmonary embolism (PE). DVT and PE are collectively referred to as venous thromboembolism (VTE) and are manifestations of the same disease at different stages. The main adverse consequences of DVT are PE and post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). Once formed, it will significantly affect the quality of life of patients, even endanger their lives, and the medical expenses will be huge. Prevention is more effective than treatment.
DVT prevention measures mainly include drug prevention and physical prevention. Drug prophylaxis may have a risk of causing bleeding. Physical prophylaxis is one of the essential measures for VTE prevention.
Sequential Pneumatic Compression (SPC or SCD) is one of the physical preventions. Its working principle is to accelerate blood flow through the physiological mechanical drainage effect produced by the orderly filling of the thrombus pump device from the distal end to the proximal end, promote the return of venous blood and lymph; the pressure therapy improves blood stasis, improves hypercoagulability through the activation of the pressure-induced fibrinolysis system, and pressure itself can also improve endothelial cell dysfunction.
MedHealth MHH800SQ sequential pneumatic compression system (DVT pumps) are compression pumps designed to prevent people from getting such deep vein thrombosis (DVT). DVT Pumps work in such a way as to deliver the proper compression, so that blood within the arteries does no clot, thus help prevent thrombosis to the greatest extent by pressurizing, promoting blood circulation and preventing coagulation factors.
The MHH800SQ DVT system is an Sequential Compression Device (SCD), as an external pneumatic compression (EPC) system for the prevention of DVT. Muscles are rendered ineffective as an assist in venous return during surgery. The MHH DVT pump functions as a secondary pump to propel venous blood out of the deep veins while a patient is undergoing surgical procedures.
