The Venowave VW5 series of devices are prescriptive and induce improved vascular and lymphatic flow of the lower limbs. Venowave device are intended to treat the following: Indications for Use: - Management of the symptoms of post thrombolytic syndrome (PTS) - Prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) - Prevention of primary thrombosis - Treatment of lymphedema - Diminishing post-operative pain and swelling - Treatment of leg swelling due to vascular insufficiency - Treatment of varicose veins - Treatment of chronic venous insufficiency - Enhancing blood circulation - Treatment of intermittent claudication

The Venowave VW5 is a series of compact, battery-operated peristaltic pumps that generate a wave-form motion, and when worn below the knee strapped firmly to the calf, result in compression of the calf and consequently, an increased upward volumetric displacement of venous and lymph fluid. Each of the models within the family (VW5-6;VW5-10; VW5-20; and VW5-30) is distinguished by the maximum number of times the wave plate cycles each minute (6, 10, 20 and 30 cycles/minute respectively). Clinical preference to choose a specific frequency of motion for each specific patient based upon that patient's clinical symptoms, severity of disease, and perceived compliance with treatment has been the motivation for creating each model within the series.
