Where It Fits In The Immobilization Protocol

Where VEINOPLUS® sits in an immobilization protocol.

Rx Only. FDA-cleared NMES device. Class II.

A prescription neuromuscular electrical stimulation device for the calf, introduced at the point of immobilization rather than after it.

VEINOPLUS neuromuscular electrical stimulator with two self-adhering calf electrodes and lead wire
Introduced At

The point of immobilization, not after it.

Setting

At home, operated by the patient on a prescribed schedule.

Practice Inventory

None. Nothing is stocked or fitted in the office.

Three stages, one unchanged protocol

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.

Same protocol, one addition

Two self-adhering electrodes positioned over the calf, with the handheld stimulator held by the seated patient
Electrode placement over the calf. The patient operates the device seated.

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.

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.
