2. Clinical Applications
Indications The primary application of the
Flowtron Universal
system is for the prevention of Deep Vein Thrombosis
(DVT), when combined with an individualised
monitoring programme.
These systems represent one aspect of a DVT strategy;
if the patient's condition changes the overall therapy
regimen should be reviewed by the prescribing clinician.
The above are guidelines only and should not replace
clinical judgement.
Depending on the garment type used, other clinical
applications are also appropriate.
The FG foot garment, in particular, has a wide range of
clinical applications.
Full details for clinical applications are included in the
packaging of every garment.
The type of garment used on an individual patient
must be specified by a physician.
