Vascular Compression Unit (VCU)

VCU

One of our most popular products is our Vascular Compression Unit (VCU), which is a patented, one-of-a-kind, iceless, thermal compression solution in one portable device. Our VCU provides precise temperature control for preventing thermal tissue damage (i.e. frostbite) without the hassle of ice. In addition, the VCU also provides highly effective DVT prophylaxis through its programmable multiple modalities allowing for simultaneous hot/cold temperature therapy and vascular compression. It can also provide contrast hot/cold temperature therapy, which may be desirable under your physician’s treatment plan for you.

So many choices, but only one real option…NO ICE!

The VCU is NOT and ice bucket! It is a solid state thermal compression therapy system. What does this mean? It means you don’t have to deal with refilling our unit with ice as it melts. It means you don’t have to have multiple pieces of equipment cluttering up your room. It means you can relax and focus on your recovery. Imagine having a knee operation and having to get up and hobble over to the refrigerator every few hours to refill a unit with ice to keep the fluid at an effective temperature. Imagine trying to do this with one arm after shoulder surgery.
