Kendall SCD™ Express Sleeves SMART COMPRESSION

SLEEVE SCD KL COMPRESSION 5PR/CA

As a part of the Kendall SCD™ 700 Compression System SMART COMPRESSION™, the Kendall SCD™ Express Sleeves provide circumferential compression that is clinically proven to move more blood.^1-2

SMART features of the Kendall SCD™ Express Sleeves:

SMART Sleeve Design

Circumferential Design

• Bladders extend to the end of each sleeve so that therapy is delivered at all points of contact
• Compresses a larger surface area ²_, clearing blood from behind the valve cusp where most DVTs form³
• Delivers therapy regardless of sleeve position, which may save nursing tim

Sequential Inflation

• Three separate chambers inflate to squeeze the leg in a ‘milking’ action

Gradient Pressure Patterns

• Each chamber inflates at a different pressure to maximize blood flow
• Helps move the blood from the legs, back up to the heart, with a clinically proven 45, 40, 30 mmHg pressure pattern.³
