Who Prescribes

Podiatry, foot and ankle surgery, orthopedic trauma.

Setting

At home, operated by the patient on a prescribed schedule.

Practice Workload

No added in-office time and no equipment held by the practice.

Used alongside the protocol you already set

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.

Electrode placement over the calf. The patient operates the device seated.

How the patient uses it

1. Self-adhering electrodes are placed on each calf. No specialist application is required.

2. The patient selects the program. The device shuts off automatically at the end of a 60-minute session.

3. Used on the schedule the physician prescribes. It may be used while walking.

4. Pocket-sized, battery-powered and reusable — at home, at work or while travelling.

In-office time

None added. No fitting or supervised session.

Existing orders

Casting, bracing, weight-bearing and rehabilitation plans are set by the practice and unchanged.
