Results for tag: "Intermittent Pneumatic Compression Devices"

Intermittent Pneumatic Compression (IPC) devices are medical devices used for a variety of clinical purposes, including enhancing circulation, preventing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and managing lymphedema and venous insufficiency. These devices typically consist of an air pump and inflatable cuffs (sleeves) that encase the limbs requiring treatment. The sleeves are rhythmically inflated and deflated with air by the pump, mimicking the natural circulation of blood and lymphatic fluids in the body. The devices are designed for use in hospital settings as well as at home, offering a non-invasive therapy option for patients. The IPC devices market is part of the larger therapeutic medical equipment industry, which encompasses a broad range of products used for recovery, rehabilitation, and health maintenance. Within this context, IPC devices are often considered an essential tool for preoperative and postoperative care, particularly for patients undergoing surgeries associated with a heightened risk of circulatory complications. They are also prominent in the care of patients with chronic conditions requiring management of swelling and pain in the extremities. Several companies operate within the IPC market. These include: Huntleigh Healthcare, Arjo, DJO Global, Tactile Medical, Mego Afek, Talley Group, Medtronic, Bio Compression Systems, Zimmer Biomet, and NormaTec. Show Less Read more
