Intermittent venous compression system (A system used for the noninvasive treatment and prevention of venous disorders and sequelae such as oedema, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). It functions by intermittently applying pressure to a patient's arms or legs to promote venous blood flow at timed intervals. This is achieved through the cyclical inflation and deflation of a single-chambered stocking, sleeve, or suit applied to the extremities. The system typically consists of a compression pump, control and timing mechanism, tubing, and pneumatic stocking(s) or suit.)
