VeinOPlus DVT EMS for DVT Prevention

VeinOPlus DVT utilises patented electro-muscular stimulation technology to deliver effective, safe and comfortable calf muscle stimulation to contract the muscles and activate the ‘calf muscle pump’, frequently referred to as ‘the second heart or peripheral heart’.  Repeated calf muscles contractions increase venous volume flow and speed up venous return in the lower legs. The use of VeinOPlus DVT is recommended in all situations, where reduced venous return and prolonged venous stasis are present and there is a risk of blood clotting to arise in the lower legs.

VeinOPlus DVT can help to prevent DVT. VeinOPlus DVT is usable as a standalone therapy or alongside other preventive prescribed DVT therapies. VeinOPlus DVT is a medical device that has been designed for effective and safe home use.

VeinOPlus DVT indications

1. Increase local blood flow in the lower legs
2. Increase venous return
3. Reduce effects of venous stasis
4. Help to prevent Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT)

Examples of people who can benefit from the use of VeinOPlus DVT include people post-surgery, people with reduced mobility and when during prolonged immobilisation or prolonged sitting (i.e. during long travel by air). In such situations, passive calf muscles contractions improve local blood flow in the legs, increasing venous return and pushing blood upwards towards the heart.

More about the VeinOPlus DVT   

VeinOPlus DVT is a battery powered electric muscle stimulator (EMS) that delivers gentle electric stimuli (low frequency and low voltage) via self-adhesive oval skin electrodes attached to the back of the calves on both legs. The electrical stimulation contracts the calf muscles passively and effortlessly. Passive muscular contractions have the same effects as the natural muscle contractions occurring during walking, running or jogging.

Using VeinOPlus DVT is effective and safe. The more you use your VeinOPlus, the more effective it becomes, delivering more lasting beneficial effects. VeinOPlus DVT is designed for home use!      

VeinOPlus DVT is simple and easy to use. Simply attach the self-adhesive oval electrodes to the calves at the back of your lower legs (i.e. one self-adhesive oval electrode per leg) and commence the stimulation. If required, you can also use the device on one leg one by placing 2 oval electrodes on the calf of one leg, as illustrated in the user manual (cover page). You can adjust the level of the electric currents up or down to your personal preference. The stimulation must be felt, but must not be painful or uncomfortable.

VeinOPlus DVT user manual is concise (i.e. 7 pages), clear and easy to follow. Single treatment session takes 180 minutes to complete, but you can switch off the device at any time and recommence the treatment later. It is recommended that you use the VeinOPlus DVT device during periods of immobility and during long travel, especially on long haul flights and for few days after the flight. Please note that the VeinOPlus device must not be used during take-offs or landings! 

For best outcomes, you should perform the VeinOPlus DVT EMS stimulation sessions in sitting or semi-recumbent position.

VeinOPlus DVT is battery powered. It uses 9 V alkaline batteries or rechargeable 9V batteries type 6LR61. You can easily obtain the batteries from supermarkets, electric retailers or online. Please do not use the lithium batteries as these could negatively affect functioning of the VeinOPlus.

VeinOPlus DVT is easy to use and maintain and it does not require maintenance or calibration. 

VeinOPlus V.I. carries 24 months warranty from the date of purchase against manufacturing defects, excluding battery, skin electrodes and cables. The warranty does not include normal wear & tear, misuse, abuse, wilful or accidental damage and tampering/removing internal parts and components.
