Where VEINOPLUS sits in an immobilization protocol.
A prescription neuromuscular electrical stimulation device for the calf, introduced at the point of immobilization rather than after it.
Sequence of care
1
Immobilization begins
Cast, boot or brace is applied and weight-bearing orders are set. The calf muscle pump stops working for the duration.
2
VEINOPLUS is prescribed
The patient uses the device at home on a prescribed schedule. Casting, bracing and weight-bearing orders are unchanged, and no equipment is held or managed by the practice.
3
Weight bearing resumes
The patient returns to bearing weight and continues into the rehabilitation plan already set by the practice.
What stays the same
- Casting, bracing and weight-bearing orders — set by the practice
- The rehabilitation plan — unchanged
- In-office time — none added
- Practice inventory — none; nothing is stocked or fitted
What is added
- A prescription for the device
- A device the patient operates at home, on the prescribed schedule
- 60-minute sessions with automatic shut-off
- Replaceable self-adhering electrodes, one per calf
Practice logistics
Does anything ship to the office?
No. The device goes to the patient. The practice holds no inventory and fits nothing.
Does a staff member have to train the patient?
No. The electrodes are self-adhering and the device is patient-operated. The instructions for use cover application and programs.
Where can the patient use it?
It is pocket-sized and battery-powered — at home, at work or while travelling. It may be used during ambulation.
Can it run alongside compression therapy?
It may be combined with compression therapy at the physician's direction.
Indications for use
Relaxation of muscle spasms; prevention or retardation of muscle disuse atrophy; increasing local blood circulation; muscle re-education; immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis; maintaining or increasing range of motion.
Contraindications
Cardiac pacemaker or other implanted electronic device. Active DVT at the treatment site. Severe arterial insufficiency. Uncontrolled congestive heart failure.
Caution
Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. Rx only.
