Why does the CalfPad inflate to 80mmHg in 0.4 seconds?
It is universally agreed that ambulatory exercise is the most effective method of thromboprophylaxis (5). CalfPad uses these unique inflation parameters as it has been found that this closely mimics the natural physiological process of walking. By replicating the process of walking, the CalfPad will reduce stasis, the principle risk factor in DVT formation.
