How Long to Use DVT Machine After Surgery? Expert Guidelines
The duration for using a DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) prevention machine after surgery depends on several factors, including the type of surgery, the patient's risk of developing a blood clot, and the doctor's recommendations. However, here's a general guideline:
-
Immediately Post-Surgery: Often, a DVT machine (like sequential compression devices or SCDs) is used as soon as possible after surgery to help promote blood circulation and prevent blood clots. Patients may need to wear them continuously for the first 24 to 48 hours post-surgery, depending on the surgery and mobility.
-
For 1–2 Weeks: After major surgeries (such as orthopedic, cardiac, or abdominal surgeries), a doctor may recommend continued use of the DVT machine for up to 1–2 weeks. This helps prevent clots in patients who are less mobile in the early recovery phase.
-
Extended Use for High-Risk Patients: In some cases, for patients at higher risk of DVT (those with a history of clotting disorders, obesity, or prolonged immobility), the device may be used for longer periods—sometimes up to 3–6 weeks.
Key Considerations:
-
Doctor's Instructions: Always follow the healthcare provider's specific instructions on the duration of use based on the surgical procedure and individual recovery plan.
-
Mobility and Activity: If you're able to move around more or if your doctor has cleared you for walking, the machine may no longer be necessary.
It's always crucial to follow the healthcare professional's advice tailored to your recovery.

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Compression Therapy Device LGT-2201DVT
The LGT-2201DVT is a compression therapy device. It is composed of an intermittent pneumatic controller (main unit), sleeves, and a connection hose. The working principle is that air inflates and deflates the sleeves sequentially to generate circulating pressure on the human body.
By squeezing the proximal and distal limbs, it can directly or indirectly promote blood circulation and the lymphatic system, improve the body's micro-circulation, prevent thrombi, reduce limb swelling, and address diseases related to blood and lymph circulation. Suitable places for use are clinics and hospitals.
LGT - 2202DVT DVT Pump for Hospitals
The LGT-2202DVT is a gradient-pressure compression therapy system engineered to lower the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) post-surgery. It is compact and user-friendly. Ideal for hospitals, it streamlines workflows and boosts patient outcomes. This innovative DVT prevention solution caters to orthopedic rehabilitation, post-surgical recovery, and ICU/critical care settings, enhancing patient safety and clinical results.
