Hospitals' compression boots are medical devices that have been designed to aid in circulation and prevent blood clots. Utilizing dynamic compression therapy, the boots are primarily used post-operation and for patients with circulatory problems. They contain programmable technological features which allow healthcare professionals to tailor the inflation and deflation cycles to each patient's specific needs. This technique of graduated compression is of benefit in the return of venous blood to the heart, and reduces the risk of deep vein thrombosis (dvt) as well as accelerating recovery. Applications run the gamut from orthopedic postoperative care, through treatment of dvt, to chronic venous insufficiency management.
