Description

The ArjoHuntleigh Flowtron Bariatric Calf Garment (#DVT60L / 10 per Case) has an extra-large fit for up to a 32" (710 mm) calf circumference. It is a lightweight, single-chamber, breathable garment for DVT prevention.

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

Warranty: 4 Months.

It is usable with the Flowtron AC800 IPC System, Flowtron Universal Pump (#AC600), Flowtron Excel Pump (#AC550), Flowtron ACS800 Pump, and Flowtron ACS900 Pump. It is designed to provide comfort for the patient, simplicity for the user, and flexibility for healthcare facilities. A Flowtron garment is effective in the prevention of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT).

Simple and Effective DVT Prevention: Adding compression to a limb using a Flowtron garment 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: A lightweight, breathable fabric garment ensures comfort and helps prevent the build-up of heat and moisture. An easily identifiable garment means simple visual confirmation to ensure compliance with the patient's prescribed DVT prevention treatment.

Usage: Calf garments inflate at a pressure at 40 mmHg with a cycle time of 12 seconds inflate and 48 seconds deflate.

What is the effective DVT prevention mechanism?

The ArjoHuntleigh Flowtron Bariatric Calf Garment is engineered for the non-invasive prevention of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) in professional medical environments. This is achieved through intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC):

  • Targeted Compression: The single-chamber garment inflates to apply 40 mmHg compression to the calf.
  • Increased Blood Flow: This mechanical action significantly increases blood velocity in the deep veins, which actively reduces venous stasis (blood pooling).
  • Fibrinolysis Stimulation: The compression therapy also helps to stimulate the body’s natural process of fibrinolysis (clot breakdown).

Notably, this accessory offers an extra-large bariatric fit suitable for calf circumferences up to 32 inches (710 mm).

Does the garment have auto-recognition?

Yes, the Flowtron Bariatric Calf Garment is designed with auto garment recognition. This feature ensures quick, correct, and safe application when pairing the garment with specific Flowtron IPC systems, improving ease of use and compliance in professional medical settings.The auto-recognition feature works seamlessly with the following pumps:* Flowtron Universal Pump (#AC600)* *Flowtron ACS800 Pump
