The goal of Compression Solutions is to

Prevent DVT at Home

CRITICAL POST-SURGERY RECOVERY

Compression Solutions is on the forefront of creating DVT solutions where patients are most vulnerable — at home after surgery.

Our products and programs increase patient safety and reduce costs. And because our focus is on preventing DVT after surgery risk at home, we make our compression products accessible, compact, and exceedingly simple to use.

Transitioning home after surgery should be a time of recovery, not risk.

THE DANGERS OF BLOOD CLOTS

While blood clots are life-saving by preventing excessive bleeding, they can also be deadly if formed in the wrong spot. After surgical blood loss, blood clots are formed to stop the bleeding. However, when formed within the deep veins, blood clots can be fatal. 

DVT WARNING SIGNS:

PAIN OR TENDERNESS IN AN EXTREMITY OR GROIN

SUDDEN SWELLING OF THE LEG

NOTICEABLY WARM SKIN

CHANGE OF COLOR IN THE LEG
