Readycare DVT Pump

ReadyCare DVT Pump - Basic Details

Device Type: Intermittent Pneumatic Compression (IPC) pump used for preventing Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT).

Purpose: Designed to improve blood circulation in patients at risk of developing blood clots, particularly for those recovering from surgery, long periods of immobility, or other medical conditions.

Pressure: Most ReadyCare DVT pumps provide adjustable pressure levels, typically in the range of 30-60 mmHg, depending on the specific model.

Compression Cycle: A typical cycle includes inflation (~12-15 seconds) and deflation (~45-60 seconds), mimicking natural walking and promoting venous return in the legs.

Control Features: Digital controls to adjust compression levels, timer, and mode (some pumps allow customizing the inflation/deflation cycles).

Portability: Most models are lightweight and portable, making them suitable for home use, with easy-to-use handles and detachable power cords for travel.

Safety: Alarms for overpressure, low battery, and other faults are standard in many models.

Power Source: Often runs on AC power (with a backup battery in some models) for continuous operation.

Sleeves: The pump typically comes with calf or thigh compression sleeves, which are adjustable for various leg sizes.

Materials: The compression sleeves are often made of breathable, soft fabric for comfort during long periods of use.

Maintenance: Regular cleaning of tubing and sleeves is required for hygiene and optimal performance.
