VPULSE w/o pads

VPULSE®
VPULSE improves patient outcomes, reduces the total cost of the orthopedic episode and increases patient satisfaction to provide more time well spent.

VPULSE helps patients achieve complete and comfortable healing through three distinct therapies:

Rapid impulse calf compression to help prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
Motorized cold therapy to help reduce surgical site discomfort and inflammation
Wound compression to further reduce surgical site inflammation

Product Features*
Reduces the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE): VPULSE reduces the incidence of VTE after major orthopedic surgery compared with pharmacologic prophylaxis. VTE is the leading cause of hospital readmission after major orthopedic surgery and the most common preventable cause of in-hospital death.

Offers a possible alternative to anticoagulants: VPULSE offers physicians another option to help tailor preventive care to patient risk and provides an alternative for patients contraindicated for anticoagulants.

Delivers Convenient Home Therapy: As hospital stays continue to shorten, VPULSE provides a solution for patients to return home and stay home. This allows facilities to offer mechanical DVT prophylaxis for patients who need it most for 2-3 weeks, without having to rent or maintain equipment.

Improves Patient Experience: Combining three therapies in one convenient device maximizes patient comfort during recovery. With motorized cold therapy and accompanying water bottles, patients avoid the need to frequently change ice cubes or gel packs.

Improves Compliance: The added comfort of cold and compression treatments may increase patient compliance compared to DVT prophylaxis alone. A removable data card records patient compliance for physician tracking.

Reduces Total Cost: Bundled care payment initiatives result in a single payment for an orthopedic episode within 30 days of surgery, including costly DVT readmissions. By reducing DVT-related expenses and potentially reducing the costs of anticoagulant regimens or compression device rental programs, VPULSE helps reduce the total cost of the episode.
