Designed with flexibility and simplicity in mind, the Universal system provides clinically effective, non-invasive mechanical compression for the prevention of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). It is compatible with all uniform compression garments.
Venous Thromboembolism, otherwise known as VTE, refers to a blood clot that forms within a vein. It is considered 25 times more deadly than strains of hospital-acquired viruses.
