After surgery, the blood tends to be more likely to clot. Those who lose some mobility post-operatively are especially at risk. On top of that, there are numerous risk factors such as age, weight, medical history, medication, or even just varicose veins, that may contribute to your risk and physician’s decision to recommend DVT prevention.

Deep Vein Thrombosis, or DVT, is when the blood forms a blockage or clot in veins. Most commonly formed in the lower leg or thigh, blood clots become life threatening when they break off from the vein wall and travel throughout the body. If a blood clot gets stuck in the lungs for example, it is a called a Pulmonary Embolism (PE) and can be fatal. When not life threatening, DVT may cause uncomfortable side effects and require weeks of treatment to resolve. The good news is DVT prevention is not only effective, but PlasmaFlow makes it easy.
