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.
