Lowers risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE)- VPULSE lowers incidence of VTE after major orthopedic surgery compared to pharmacological prophylaxis; VTE is the leading factor for hospital readmission following major orthopedic surgery and the most common preventable cause of hospital death
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
Provides convenient home therapy- as hospital stays continue to shorten
VPULSE provides a solution for patients to take home and keep; this allows facilities to offer mechanical DVT prophylaxis for the 2 to 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
Improves compliance- The added comfort of cold and compression therapies may increase patient compliance compared to DVT prophylaxis alone; a removable data card records patient compliance to enable physician monitoring
Lowers total cost: Bundled payment of care initiatives are driving single payment for an orthopedic episode within 30 days of surgery
including costly DVT readmissions; by reducing DVT-related expenses and potentially reducing costs for anticoagulant regimes or compression device rental programs
VPULSE helps reduce the total cost of the episode
