The VENOWAVE is a lightweight, portable device weighing only half a pound, and is powered by rechargeable batteries. Patients can wear the VENOWAVE anytime and anywhere. The device is worn on the calf two inches below the crease of the knee and secured by tightening the adjustable straps. The VENOWAVE is small enough that it can be worn while wearing pants; and is so quiet that co-workers cannot hear the device while delivering continuous waves of dynamic compression therapy.
The VENOWAVE produces an upward motion that promotes blood flow from the legs back to the heart. Every ten seconds the VENOWAVE delivers a wave of therapeutic compression that enhances venous and lymphatic drainage, reduces pooling of deoxygenated blood in the leg veins, and helps prevent severe PTS symptoms from developing.
The VENOWAVE is approved by the FDA for treating chronic venous insufficiency including post thrombotic syndrome. Daily use of the VENOWAVE is recommended for treating and preventing symptoms of post thrombotic syndrome.
The VENOWAVE with continuous wave-motion mimics the function of the calf-muscle and volumetrically displaces and improves venous and lymphatic drainage. Improving blood flow and reducing blood pooling helps reduce the symptoms associated with post thrombotic syndrome. The VENOWAVE can be worn while walking, sitting, or sleeping. The VENOGARD prevents bedding from getting caught in the device and impeding function.
