    • Wound compression to further help reduce operative site inflammation
  • Provides Possible Alternative to Anticoagulants:
    VPULSE offers physicians another option to help tailor preventative care to patient risk and provides an alternative for patients contraindicated for anticoagulants

    • Allows facilities to offer mechanical DVT prophylaxis for the 2-3 weeks patients need it most, without the hassle of renting or servicing equipment
  • Improves Patient Experience: Combining three therapies into one convenient device optimizes patient comfort during recovery.
    With motorized cold therapy and accompanying water bottles, patients avoid the hassle of frequently switching out ice cubes or gel packs
