If you are wondering what is Intermittent Pneumatic Compression (IPC) therapy, then here is the answer. IPC is created to aid in blood and fluid flow that is curbed by injury or impairment. Extracellular fluid is cleared by applying compression to a limb using certain garments and thereby increasing the blood flow. IPC is very safe to use and is non-invasive. Some of the vascular or lymphatic medical conditions that can be treated using Flowtron® Hydroven 3 Pump are dependent oedema, lyphoedema, localized oedema and venous ulceration. IPC helps in saving on nursing time and garments.
