Description

The Arjo Flowtron Foot Garment is designed for use with the Flowtron Universal Pump (AC600), Flowtron AC800 Pump, Flowtron ACS800 Pump, and Flowtron ACS900 Pump. It fits women up to size 9, and men up to size 7 (sizes small to medium).

Note: This item is designed for use in professional medical settings only and is not available for home care use.

Warranty: 4 Months.

The garment is lightweight and breathable for DVT prevention. It is designed to provide comfort for the patient, simplicity for the user, and flexibility for healthcare facilities. Flowtron garments are effective in the prevention of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). Foot garments inflate at a pressure at 130 mmHg with a cycle time of 3 seconds inflate and 27 seconds deflate x 2 per inflation cycle.

Simple and Effective DVT Prevention: Adding compression to a limb using Flowtron garments increases blood velocity in the deep veins of that limb. This then reduces Venous Stasis and stimulates Fibrinolysis, which is the body's natural method of preventing and breaking down blood clots.

Comfort and Compliance:

Lightweight, breathable fabric ensures comfort and helps prevent the build-up of heat and moisture.

Easily identifiable garments means simple visual confirmation to ensure compliance with the patient's prescribed DVT prevention treatment.

Frequently asked questions

Is this DVT prevention garment clinically effective?

Yes, the Arjo Flowtron Foot Garment is highly effective and designed for the prevention of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) in professional medical settings. It utilizes intermittent pneumatic compression therapy to achieve this through a specific mechanism:

  • High Compression: It applies compression at a fixed rate of 130 mmHg.
  • Mechanism: This pressure significantly increases blood velocity in the deep veins, which actively reduces venous stasis (stagnation) and stimulates the body’s natural clot-dissolving process, fibrinolysis.

These garments are intended strictly for single patient use.

Which Flowtron pumps feature seamless compatibility?

The Arjo Flowtron Foot Garment is compatible with several Flowtron DVT prevention pump systems, ensuring effective treatment in professional medical settings.

Compatible Pumps:

  • Flowtron Universal Pump (AC600)
  • Flowtron AC800 Pump
  • Flowtron ACS800 Pump
  • Flowtron ACS900 Pump

For enhanced convenience, the garment supports auto garment recognition when paired with specific models, allowing for seamless integration and quick confirmation of patient treatment adherence:

  • Flowtron Universal Pump (AC600)
  • Flowtron ACS800 Pump
Are different configurations available?

Yes, the Arjo Flowtron Foot Garment is offered in two distinct configurations to suit various professional medical needs. Both options are designated for single patient use only:

  • Standard Configuration (MPN: FG100): Packaged in a box containing 10 garments.
  • Sterile Configuration (MPN: FG100S): Packaged in a box containing 5 garments. This variant is suitable for environments requiring strict sterile protocols.
Is the Flowtron garment strictly single-use?

Yes, the Arjo Flowtron Foot Garment is designed strictly for single patient use. This is a requirement for maintaining hygiene and preventing cross-contamination within professional healthcare settings, ensuring patient safety and compliance with DVT prevention protocols.

What is the precise sizing range?

The Arjo Flowtron Foot Garment is sized to cover a small to medium range.

Specifically, it is designed to fit:

  • Women up to shoe size 9
  • Men up to shoe size 7
What is the compression pressure and cycle time?

The Arjo Flowtron Foot Garment utilizes highly specific operational parameters to deliver intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC), ensuring clinically effective DVT prevention by increasing blood velocity and stimulating Fibrinolysis.

The precise specifications for the compression cycle are:

  • Inflation Pressure: 130 mmHg
  • Inflation Time: 3 seconds
  • Deflation Time: 27 seconds (Note: The 27-second deflation period is repeated twice per inflation cycle.)

This precise cycling mechanism is key to effectively reducing Venous Stasis.

Is the garment material lightweight and breathable?

Yes, the Arjo Flowtron Foot Garment is constructed from a lightweight, breathable fabric. This material is specifically chosen to maximize patient comfort and compliance by preventing excessive heat and moisture buildup during DVT prevention therapy.

Does the Flowtron Foot Garment offer a secure fit?

Yes, the Arjo Flowtron Foot Garment features a five-finger hook and loop fastening system for a secure and easy fit. This design ensures the garment stays comfortably in place during compression therapy.

Is the Arjo Flowtron Foot Garment suitable for home use?

This item is designed for use in professional medical settings only and is not available for home care use.

Does this foot garment ensure patient comfort?

Yes, the Arjo Flowtron Foot Garment is engineered specifically to maximize patient comfort and adherence during DVT prevention therapy. It is listed as well tolerated by patients.

Key features ensuring comfort include:

  • Lightweight, Breathable Fabric: This construction minimizes heat and moisture buildup, which is crucial for extended wear and high patient compliance.
  • Simple and Secure Fastening: It uses a five-finger hook and loop fastening system that allows for easy, safe attachment and fitting.
