DJO VenaGo At-Home DVT Care Overview
The VenaGo DVT Pump is an innovative portable device for the prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). It mimics natural muscle contractions and promotes blood flow throughout the legs. This helps prevent dangerous blood clots and reduce pain and swelling post-surgery, and can even help improve healing time. The Aircast VenGo DVT System is an easy-to-use, at-home option for patients at risk of developing or receiving treatment for blood clots, especially within their first 30 days after discharge when the risk of recurrent blood clots is still high.

Effortless and Convenient
The electronically controlled pump is incredibly easy to operate. Once the power button is pressed, the device does the work with its preset cycle features, controlled compression, and indicator display.
The preset cycle feature automatically inflates and deflates the device for a set period of time. Once the device reaches 50 mmHg, it remains at that pressure for 0 to 4 seconds and then begins to deflate again. The display will show the decrease in pressure and will flash until the cycle starts again. A complete cycle, with rest, inflation, and deflation, is 60 seconds long.
