Kendall SCD™ Comfort Sleeves
Kendall SCD™ Smart Compression™ system with Comfort Sleeves provides circumferential compression that is clinically proven to move more blood. It provides positionally independent compression on all sides of the leg to reduce the risk of VTE and save nursing time, while also providing a reprocessed option that reduces waste and impact on the environment.
The Kendall SCD™ Smart Compression™ system with Comfort Sleeves provides circumferential compression that is clinically proven to aid in the prevention of Venous Thromboembolism (VTE), including Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and Pulmonary Embolism (PE) in the at-risk patient. The Comfort Sleeve is designed to address the issue of sweat and heat with its moisture and thermal management properties, allowing air circulation on the patient's skin and minimizing sweat pools, irritation, and itchiness to improve patient acceptance. As part of the Smart Compression™ system, Comfort Sleeves include the following smart features:
Smart Sleeve Design
- Compresses a larger surface area5* with a circumferential design, clearing blood from behind the valve cusp where most DVTs form, and delivering therapy regardless of sleeve position, which may save nursing time
- Squeezes the leg in a ‘milking’ action using sequential inflation of three separate chambers
- Increases blood flow by inflating each chamber sequentially at a different pressure
