About
Flowtron
Hydroven 3
The pump supplies air via connecting tubes to an
inflatable garment allowing the application of controlled
pressure to gently compress the limb. This action assists
in increasing the return of blood, excess fluids, improves
venous stasis and encourages the reabsorption of waste
products.
The pump operates on an automatically timed cycle of
3 minutes, 90 seconds inflation followed by 90 seconds
deflation. Variable pressure output ranges from
30-100 mmHg. The garments are inflated alternately.
The
Flowtron Hydroven 3
system operates two types of
garments:
•
Hydroven 1
garments have a single chamber and
provide uniform compression.
•
Hydroven 3
garments have three chambers providing
graduated segmental compression, inflating distally
to proximally.
Optional garment inserts can be used to increase the
circumference of the standard arm and leg garments.
