Refurbished Sequential Compression Devices (SCDs) – Kendall, Covidien & DVT Prevention Systems

Outfront Medical offers professionally refurbished Sequential Compression Devices (SCDs) designed to help prevent Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and Pulmonary Embolism (PE) in at-risk patients. Commonly used in hospitals, surgery centers, rehabilitation facilities, long-term care centers, and alternate care settings, SCDs are a critical component of modern venous thromboembolism (VTE) prevention protocols. Each refurbished unit is inspected, tested, and verified for proper operation before being offered for sale. SCD therapy is widely recognized as a non-invasive method to improve venous blood flow and reduce the risk of blood clot formation in immobile patients.

What Is a Sequential Compression Device (SCD)?

A Sequential Compression Device is a pneumatic compression system that uses an air pump and inflatable garments to apply intermittent pressure to a patient's legs or feet. The compression cycle helps stimulate blood flow, mimicking the natural muscle contractions that occur during walking. This increased circulation helps reduce venous stasis and lowers the risk of DVT and PE in patients who are unable to ambulate normally.

SCDs are commonly used for:

Post-surgical recovery
Orthopedic procedures
Intensive care unit (ICU) patients
Long-term bed-bound patients
Stroke recovery
Trauma patients
High-risk DVT prevention protocols
Rehabilitation and skilled nursing care

Benefits of Sequential Compression Therapy

Healthcare facilities rely on SCD systems because they provide:

Non-invasive DVT prevention
Improved venous blood circulation
Reduced risk of pulmonary embolism
Enhanced patient safety during periods of immobility
Easy integration into hospital care protocols
Comfortable therapy for extended use
Proven effectiveness in post-operative care environments

Sequential compression therapy remains one of the most commonly implemented mechanical DVT prevention strategies in healthcare.
