Using the muscle pump in your legs is the most effective prophylaxis against deep vein thrombosis following surgery. The phlebostep is an air cushion positioned between the patient's foot and the end of the bed. A preliminary study in post-operative patients following orthopedic surgery showed an increase in venous blood flow of 99% in the Phlebostep exercised leg.
Phlebostep is the brain child of assoc. Prof. Dr. Olivier, director of the dept. of orthopedic, trauma and hand surgery at St.-Josefs-Hospital, Cloppenburg, Germany.
