Description

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a type of venous thrombosis involving the formation of a blood clot in a deep vein, most commonly in the legs or pelvis. A minority of DVTs occur in the arms. Symptoms can include pain, swelling, redness, and enlarged veins in the affected area, but some DVTs have no symptoms. Portable, lightweight, and easy to operate, the state-of-the-art DVT pump LGT-2202DVT is widely used for preventing the formation of blood clots in patients who are bedridden or have limited mobility. The device delivers graduated and sequential pressure for effective and comfortable compression therapy. It supports one-leg compression therapy.

Generally, venous blood stasis, vascular damage, and a hypercoagulable state of blood are considered the three main contributing factors. Blood stasis occurs when blood flow slows down. This often happens when a person lies in bed or sits for extended periods. For example, after a long journey or during a hospital stay with limited mobility, the blood in the veins may not flow as smoothly as it should, increasing the risk of DVT.

Vascular injury can also lead to DVT. When a blood vessel is damaged, the structure of the vessel wall changes. This alteration can trigger a coagulation reaction. Traumas, surgeries, or certain medical procedures may cause vascular damage and subsequently increase the likelihood of thrombosis.
