Frequently asked questions
Is this calf garment compatible with Flowtron pumps?
Yes, the ArjoHuntleigh Flowtron Sequential Calf Garment is designed for versatile compatibility with several Flowtron pump models. It works with the Flowtron ACS900 Pump and is also compatible with previous Flowtron models, including the AC800 IPC System, ACS800, Excel, and Universal.
Is the Flowtron DVT prevention clinically effective?
Yes, the ArjoHuntleigh Flowtron Sequential Calf Garment offers clinically effective, non-invasive Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) prevention when used with a compatible Flowtron pump system, such as the ACS900.
It works by:
- Increasing blood velocity in deep veins to reduce stasis.
- Stimulating fibrinolysis, the body’s natural clot-breaking mechanism.
The garment applies a precise 40 mmHg inflation pressure with a 12-second inflation cycle followed by a 48-second deflation cycle. Its lightweight, breathable fabric enhances patient comfort, preventing heat and moisture build-up for high compliance.
What are the precise compression cycle settings?
The Flowtron Sequential Calf Garment is engineered to provide clinically effective Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) prevention through intermittent pneumatic compression. When used with a compatible Flowtron pump, the precise compression settings are:
- Pressure: 40 mmHg
- Inflation Time: 12 seconds
- Deflation Time: 48 seconds
This sequential cycle is designed to significantly increase blood velocity in the deep veins, effectively reducing venous stasis and stimulating fibrinolysis, which is the body’s natural mechanism for dissolving clots.
Is the Flowtron Calf Garment for single use?
Yes, the Flowtron Sequential Calf Garment is designed for single-patient use to maintain hygiene and prevent cross-contamination in medical settings.
Is the calf garment latex-free?
Yes, the ArjoHuntleigh Flowtron Sequential Calf Garment is not made with natural rubber latex, reducing the risk of allergic reactions for patients with latex sensitivities.
Is this Flowtron garment intended for professional use?
Yes, the ArjoHuntleigh Flowtron Sequential Calf Garment is designed exclusively for professional medical settings, such as hospitals and surgical recovery units. It is not available for home care use.
Does the garment offer secure fastening?
Yes, the ArjoHuntleigh Flowtron Sequential Calf Garment features a five-finger hook and loop fastening. This design ensures easy and secure attachment, promoting a proper fit and effective compression for DVT prevention.
Does the calf garment feature comfortable materials?
Yes, the ArjoHuntleigh Flowtron Sequential Calf Garment is made from a lightweight, breathable fabric. This material is specifically chosen to minimize heat and moisture build-up, ensuring optimal patient comfort during use.
What calf circumference sizes are offered?
The Flowtron Sequential Calf Garment is available in two sizes to ensure effective DVT compression and maximize patient comfort and compliance:
- Standard: Fits calf circumferences up to 17 inches.
- Large: Fits calf circumferences up to 23 inches.
