The calf muscle pump, during the weeks it cannot work on its own.
A prescription NMES device used at home by the patient, alongside casting, bracing and non-weight-bearing protocols.
What it does
VEINOPLUS delivers neuromuscular electrical stimulation to the calf. It is prescribed by a physician, operated by the patient at home on a set schedule, and does not require in-office time or equipment managed by practice staff.
It is used alongside an existing protocol rather than in place of one. Casting, bracing and weight-bearing orders are unchanged.
How the patient uses it
- Self-adhering electrodes are placed on each calf. No specialist application is required.
- The patient selects the program. The device shuts off automatically at the end of a 60-minute session.
- Used on the schedule the physician prescribes. It may be used while walking.
- Pocket-sized, battery-powered and reusable — at home, at work or while travelling.
What the practice has to do
Nothing is stocked, fitted or managed in the office. The device ships to the patient, the patient operates it, and the practice's existing protocol is unaffected.
- InventoryNone. No equipment is held by the practice.
- In-office timeNone added. No fitting or supervised session.
- Existing ordersCasting, bracing, weight-bearing and rehabilitation plans are set by the practice and unchanged.
