DVTcare
Approximately 300,000 Americans die each year from DVT-related Pulmonary Embolism (PE) in the U.S.*
System The PolyGel DVTCare™ Ca5 and Ca5TA with ThermoActive™ Systems were developed to meet the needs of both the physician and their patients. Both provide an effective solution in preventing the formation of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) with the added benefit of portability. Now high risk patients can receive treatment from the same device while in the hospital, in surgery centers, at home, or on the go. Physicians have long recognized that the gold standard for DVT prophylaxis is mechanical compression. By either combining the DVTCare Ca5 or Ca5TA with pharmacologic “blood thinners” or using this system alone, physicians now have a portable, light weight option to provide the best possible DVT prophylaxis available. The Ca5 is a simple and portable solution for the prevention of DVT utilizing sequential compression, while the Ca5TA has all the advantages of the Ca5 plus intermittent cold or hot compression on the surgery site utilizing ThermoActive supports.

Orthopedic Surgeon I highly recommend the PolyGel ThermoActive™ line of products that I currently use in my Orthopaedic Practice. Post arthroscopic or open shoulder surgery I apply the ThermoActive™ Shoulder Support. I like the fact that it is easy to fit over the post operative dressing, conforms well to the patient's body contour and can be used for either the left or right shoulders. The pump system provides uniform compression of this comfortable gel pack that can be used in cold or warm modes. Dr. Lee Berger, MD Orthopaedic Surgeon

Athletic Trainer / Sports Medicine Portability has always been important to me when selecting therapeutic modalities to use in the treatment of athletes. The use of ice and heat has long been established standards of treatment that many manufacturers have attempted to replicate, but have never mastered. ThermoActive™ provides an excellent medium of these treatments while incorporating the long established physiological effects of cold and hot.
