Cardinal Health launches Kendall SCD SmartFlow Compression System
Next generation of the Kendall SCD Series delivers an all-in-one solution for deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism prevention.
Cardinal Health announced the U.S. launch of its Kendall SCD SmartFlow™ Compression System, the next generation of the Kendall™ Compression Series offering an enhanced clinician and patient experience. Featuring clinically proven technology that delivers customized, intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) to increase blood flow in at-risk patients, the Kendall SCD SmartFlow™ System is designed to help prevent venous thromboembolism (VTE) events, as well as enhance blood circulation and treat pain and swelling related to venous stasis.
The Kendall SCD SmartFlow™ Compression System leverages Vascular Refill Detection (VRD) technology with a sequential, gradient and circumferential sleeve design to move more blood per hour than uniform compression. The VRD technology adjusts and customizes compression cycles to match a patient's unique vascular refill time, helping the patient receive more compression cycles over time and ultimately reducing stasis. The circumferential sleeve design allows therapy to be applied regardless of sleeve and tubing position, while the gradient pressure pattern maximizes blood flow.
Complementing the VRD technology are additional clinical benefits and features, including proprietary Patient Sensing™ Technology that automatically detects if compression therapy is being applied and will activate an alert if the system does not detect a patient present or correct use of the sleeves on the patient's legs.
The Cardinal Health™ Kendall SCD SmartFlow™ Compression System is now available for health systems in the U.S. and will be offered internationally in early 2025.
