Health Canada Approves Longest Medical's New VTE Device LGT-2202DVT
Aug 26,2024
Longest Medical’s newly designed and developed deep vein thrombosis device LGT-2202DVT has recently got Health Canada aproval which serves as an innovative DVT prevention solution designed specifically for hospitals (including orthopaedic rehabilitation, post-surgical recovery, and ICU/Critical Care).
Patients in the ICU are at an increased risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) due to several contributing factors. Prolonged immobility, limited movement, and decreased blood circulation, along with conditions like sepsis, obesity, and trauma, all elevate this risk. If DVT is not addressed, it can result in complications such as pain, swelling, chronic venous insufficiency, and even life-threatening pulmonary embolism. Therefore, implementing proactive prevention strategies, such as DVT pumps, is essential to mitigate patients' susceptibility to this condition.
Longest Medical has specialized in developing all kinds of physical therapy devices including DVT pumps since 2000.
Ease of Use
DVT Pump LGT-2202DVT can recognize the connected garment and automatically set the correct pressure and compression cycle, reducing additional user intervention. The device provides intermittent and gradient compression on the patient’s leg to promote blood flow effectively and prevent the formation of blood clots.
The smart DVT pump LGT-2202DVT is meticulously designed and manufactured to help healthcare providers administer DVT prevention treatment more easily and improve patient care. The device is uniquely designed with smart garment detection technology to identify connected compression sleeves automatically and set the correct pressure and compression cycle, enabling a truly plug-and-play operation. It also provides customized treatment options. Parameters such as compression pressure and duration can be easily adjusted, allowing healthcare providers to customize treatment based on the patient’s needs and comfort.
