Sequential
compression devices
Overview

Sequential compression devices (SCDs) are


medical devices that are designed to improve
blood flow in the legs and prevent the formation
of blood clots. They are often used in hospitals or
clinical settings for patients who are at risk of
developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or
pulmonary embolism (PE), which can be life-
threatening conditions.

SCDs are often used in combination with other


interventions to prevent DVT and PE, such as
blood thinners, early mobilization, and
hydration. They are also commonly used during
surgery or in patients who are confined to bed for
long periods of time.
Types of sequential Compression Devices

1. Intermittent Pneumatic Compression (IPC) Devices: These devices inflate


and deflate a sleeve that wraps around the leg, creating a squeezing action that
helps improve blood flow.
2. Venous Foot Pump: These devices have a pump that is placed at the foot
level, and it inflates and deflates cuffs placed around the foot and calf. The
pressure helps improve blood flow.
3. Sequential Compression Pump: These devices are similar to IPC devices,
but they use a more advanced compression pattern to promote blood flow.
4. Compression Stockings: These are not technically SCDs, but they are often
used as a first-line treatment to prevent blood clots. Compression stockings
are tight-fitting stockings that help improve blood flow in the legs.
Working mechanism of SCDs

SCDs work by applying pressure to the legs,


01
which helps to improve blood flow and
prevent blood clots from forming. The
device consists of a set of sleeves that are
worn around the legs and connected to a
pump that inflates and deflates the sleeves in
a specific sequence. The compression and
release cycle mimics the natural pumping
action of the leg muscles, helping to
improve blood flow and reduce the risk of
blood clots.
Functions of Sequential Compression pumps

1. Enhancing Blood Flow: SCDs work by applying intermittent pressure to the legs, starting from the
foot and moving upwards towards the thigh. This pressure mimics the action of leg muscles, which
helps to push blood back towards the heart. By improving blood flow, SCDs can help prevent the
formation of blood clots, which can be a serious health risk.
2. Preventing Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): DVT is a condition where blood clots form in deep veins,
usually in the legs. These clots can break off and travel to other parts of the body, causing serious
complications. SCDs are designed to prevent the formation of blood clots in the legs and reduce the
risk of DVT.
3. Post-Surgical Recovery: SCDs are commonly used after surgery to prevent DVT and improve
circulation. They can help reduce swelling and pain, and speed up recovery time.
4. Mobility Assistance: For individuals with limited mobility, SCDs can provide assistance by improving
circulation in the legs. This can help prevent muscle atrophy and reduce the risk of other
complications associated with immobility.
5. Reduced Need for Medication: By improving circulation and preventing the formation of blood clots,
SCDs can reduce the need for medication to prevent DVT. This can be particularly beneficial for
individuals who are sensitive to medication or have other medical conditions that limit their use of
certain drugs.
Who needs SCDs?

Patients who have undergone surgery, particularly orthopedic or spinal surgery, which
can increase the risk of DVT due to prolonged periods of immobility.
Patients who have suffered trauma, such as a spinal cord injury or a severe burn,
which can also increase the risk of DVT.
Patients who have a history of DVT or pulmonary embolism (PE), as they may be at
increased risk of developing these conditions again.
Patients who have cancer or are undergoing chemotherapy, as certain types of cancer
and cancer treatments can increase the risk of blood clots.
Patients who have heart failure or other conditions that affect blood flow or increase
the risk of blood clots.
Patients who are immobilized for long periods of time due to illness, injury, or other
reasons.

Risks and considerations in manufacturing

Quality control
One of the most important considerations in manufacturing SCDs is maintaining strict quality control
processes to ensure that the devices are safe and effective for patients.
Material selection
The materials used in SCDs must be carefully chosen to ensure that they are safe and biocompatible for
patients. This may involve selecting materials that are hypoallergenic, non-toxic, and resistant to wear and
tear.
Sterilization
SCDs must be sterilized before use to prevent the spread of infection. Manufacturers must carefully select
appropriate sterilization methods and ensure that devices are properly packaged and labeled to maintain
sterility.
User safety
Manufacturers of SCDs must consider the safety of users when designing their devices. This may involve
incorporating safety features such as automatic shut-off mechanisms, alarms, or other warning systems to
prevent harm to users.
