Keep Blood Clots at Bay with this System
Reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis with the VasoPress™
System from Zimmer Biomet. The system propels the venous
blood out of the deep veins while the patient is undergoing
surgical procedures or is immobile for an extended period of
time. The pump weighs less than 5 lbs and is designed to
conveniently attach to most footboards. Sleeves come in a
variety of sizes for placement on the calf, thigh or foot. The
sleeve fabric is breathable, reducing heat build-up and
ensuring a comfortable, secure fit.
