DVT affects over 2,000,000 Americans each year. It is a serious condition that often goes undiagnosed.

Only your doctor can determine if you are at risk for Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot that forms in one of the deep veins of your body. They will typically form in your lower leg or thigh, but can also develop in other areas. A review of your personal history and current health may determine if you are at risk for developing this condition. Take a moment to Learn More about how you can best protect yourself from a DVT.
Intermittent Pneumatic Compression (IPC) devices are mechanical prophylaxis, prescribed by your doctor, that use intermittent compression on the lower legs to stimulate blood flow and prevent DVT.
