The Kendall SCD Comfort Sleeves provide circumferential compression that is clinically proven to move more blood. The Comfort Sleeves have been designed to provide an increased level of comfort, and to increase patient compliance with mechanical prophylaxis.
Note: User needs to have Sequential Circulator Compression Pump (NOT INCLUDED) to be able to use this product.
Circumferential Design
- Delivers therapy regardless of sleeve position, which may save nursing time.
- Bladders extend to the end of each sleeve so that therapy is delivered at all points of contact.
- Compresses a larger surface area, clearing blood from behind the valve cusp where most DVTs form.
Sequential Inflation
- Three separate chambers inflate to squeeze the leg in a 'milking' action.
Gradient Pressure Patterns
- Each chamber inflates at a different pressure to maximize blood flow.
- Helps move the blood from the legs, back up to the heart, with a clinically proven 45, 40, 30 mmHg pressure pattern.
How does the Kendall SCD Comfort Sleeves address patient discomfort:
- Pressure - An improved bladder geometry helps distribute pressure evenly.
- Itchiness- The sleeve material fibers have diameters similar to silk and cashmere, helping to deliver softness and smoothness.
- Skin irritation - The sleeve's pillowcase design may help address skin irritation by allowing the layers to glide freely among each other as patient shifts in bed.
- Sweat and heat - Cool, venting inner fabric helps to wick sweat away from the skin, evaporating through the soft edges. Through this process, cool air is also transferred through the vent holes.
