Frequently asked questions
Is the Flowtron DVT garment clinically effective?
Yes, the Huntleigh Flowtron Large Foot Garment is clinically effective for non-invasive Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) prevention in professional medical environments. The therapy works by increasing blood velocity in deep veins to achieve critical preventative outcomes.
Clinical Benefits
This uniform compression therapy is proven to:
- Reduce Venous Stasis: Minimize blood pooling, a major risk factor for clot formation.
- Stimulate Fibrinolysis: Encourage the body’s natural process for breaking down clots.
Therapy Specifications
The system delivers controlled intermittent compression with precise timing:
- Inflation Pressure: 130 mmHg (default setting)
- Cycle Time: 3 seconds inflation followed by 27 seconds deflation (repeated twice per inflation cycle)
Is the garment strictly for single-patient use?
Yes, the Huntleigh Flowtron Large Foot Garment is designed strictly for single patient use. This protocol ensures optimal hygiene and safety within professional medical settings, effectively reducing the risk of cross-contamination.
Is the DVT prevention therapy clinically effective?
Yes, the Huntleigh Flowtron Large Foot Garment is designed to be clinically effective for Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) prevention in professional medical settings. Its non-invasive compression therapy supports established protocols by actively reducing venous stasis and stimulating fibrinolysis (the body’s natural process for breaking down blood clots).
Key Features and Specifications
The therapy works through mechanical compression with the following specifications:
- Inflation Pressure: Delivered at a default pressure of 130 mmHg.
- Cycle Time: Features a rapid 3-second inflation followed by a 27-second deflation period (cycled twice per inflation event).
- Patient Comfort: Constructed from lightweight, breathable fabric to effectively manage heat and moisture buildup, making it well-tolerated during extended use.
- Compatibility: Features auto garment recognition when connected to compatible Flowtron Universal or ACS800 DVT prevention pumps.
What foot sizes fit this large foot garment?
The Huntleigh Flowtron Large Foot Garment is specifically sized to accommodate larger feet:
- Women: Fits sizes 9.5 and larger.
- Men: Fits sizes 7.5 and larger.
This sizing ensures appropriate mechanical compression (130 mmHg default inflation pressure) for effective DVT prevention.
Which Flowtron pumps feature auto garment recognition?
The Huntleigh Flowtron Large Foot Garment is engineered for seamless DVT therapy setup. It features auto garment recognition when connected to the following compatible Flowtron pumps:
- Flowtron Universal (Part #507003)
- Flowtron ACS800 (Part #513003)
This automatic recognition simplifies the process for healthcare professionals, ensuring safe and accurate attachment and guaranteeing uniform compression therapy.
What are the specific compression pressure and cycle settings?
The Huntleigh Flowtron Large Foot Garment delivers targeted mechanical compression for effective Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) prevention.
The specific therapy settings are configured to maximize blood velocity in the deep veins:
- Default Inflation Pressure: 130 mmHg
- Compression Cycle Details: The device uses a short, strong inflation cycle followed by a resting period, which is repeated twice per inflation event:
- Inflation Time: 3 seconds
- Deflation Time: 27 seconds
This precise timing and pressure help reduce venous stasis and stimulate the body’s natural fibrinolysis process.
What garment configurations are available?
The Flowtron Large Foot Garment is designed for single-patient use in professional medical settings and is available in two primary configurations based on sterility:
- Non-Sterile Configuration: This option is packaged in cases containing 10 individual foot garments.
- Sterile Configuration: This option is packaged in cases containing 5 individual foot garments.
Both configurations use the same lightweight, breathable material for enhanced patient comfort during DVT prevention therapy.
What are the available case quantities for the foot garments?
The total quantity depends on the specific configuration you select, as these are designed for single patient use.
The available case quantities are:
- Non-Sterile: Packaged in a case of 10 garments (SKU: AJH-FG200).
- Sterile: Packaged in a case of 5 garments.
Is the DVT prevention clinically effective?
Yes, the Huntleigh Flowtron Large Foot Garment is designed to be clinically effective for Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) prevention in professional medical settings. It is a non-invasive accessory that delivers uniform compression therapy to actively mitigate the risk of blood clots.
Mechanism of Action
The clinically proven mechanism works to:
- Increase blood velocity in deep veins.
- Reduce venous stasis (blood pooling).
- Stimulate the body’s natural clot breakdown process (fibrinolysis).
Therapy Specifications
When used with a compatible Flowtron pump, the therapy operates with the following default settings:
- Default Inflation Pressure: 130 mmHg
- Cycle Time: 3 seconds of inflation followed by 27 seconds of deflation (repeated twice per inflation cycle).
Is the garment lightweight and breathable?
Yes, the Huntleigh Flowtron Large Foot Garment is constructed from a lightweight, highly breathable fabric. This choice of material is essential for maximizing patient comfort and ensuring tolerance during extended DVT prevention therapy. The fabric actively manages moisture and heat, preventing buildup while in use.
