The company introduced VPULSE therapy, a hospital-to-home device to reduce readmissions related to blood clots. The device is designed to assist with deep vein thrombosis by delivering motorized cold therapy and wound compression.
“[VPULSE] has been shown to help decrease readmissions related to blood clots,” said Mark Snyder, MD, medical director of the orthopedic center of excellence at Good Samaritan Hospital in Cincinnati. “Physicians are also reassured that total hip and knee replacement patients will continue to be protected from DVT at home, enabling expedient hospital discharge. Finally, the use of VPULSE in combination with aspirin may reduce expenses associated with anticoagulant medications.”
The three new products introduced include:
FastForm: An upper extremity bracing as an alternative to plaster or fiberglass casting to give patients a customized, light weight, water resistant option. The technology is radiolucent and biodegradable.
Genesis Mid-Calf Walker Boot: A lightweight and low-profile device that is 24 percent shorter than the full-sized boot, designed for increased comfort and maneuverability.
Dynamic bracing: A knee ligament brace designed to provide force to the knee at the time of medical need during extension. It relieves pressure when force isn’t needed.
