SCD - Sequential Compression Device

SCD - Sequential Compression Device, the leader in vascular compression, is the next innovative step in the fight against venous stesis.

Only the SCD Compression System offers Vascular Refill Detection technology. Developed as part of ongoing research into stasis prevention, the system is designed to assess and identify each patient's individual vascular refill time and respond with a personally timed compression cycle to maximize blood flow and minimize stasis.

Customized Compression
Only the SCD Response™ Compression System offers Vascular Refill Detection technology. Developed as part of ongoing researchinto stasis prevention, the system is designed to assess and identify each patient’s individual vascular refill time and re-spond with a personally timed compression cycle to maximize blood flow and minimize stasis

SCD RESPONSE™ Sequential Compression System

Air plethysmography type technique enables the pressure bladder around the leg to sense blood volume changes
Automatic reassessment every 30 cycles ensures continual monitoring of a patient´s refill status
Customized compression accomodates differences in patient anatomy, physiology and position

Proven Efficacy
Brought to you by Covidien, the leader in vascular compression, the SCD Response™ Sequential Compression System is the next innovative step in the fight against venous stasis.

Covidien´s SCD™ system is clinically proven to reduce the incidence of pulmonary embolism and DVT
Sequential, gradient circumferential compression continues to ensure clearance of the deep veins without the risk of distal blood trapping

Ease of Use
The SCD Response™ Compression System with its sophisticated design is extremely easy to operate and due to its low weight easy to lift, transport and store.

Automatic pressure adjustment avoids costly nursing intervention and ensures patient safety
Simple, one-touch delivery of therapy
Raised comfort cooling button provides a clear indication that this feature has been activated
Indicators for inflation of sleeves and assessment of vascular refill time allow clinicians to easily monitor patient´s status
Attached integrated bedmount keeps the unit visible , accessible and secure

SCD™ Soft Sleeve - For use with the
SCD Sequential Compression System

Kendall, the leader in vascular compression, introduces The SCD™ Soft Sleeve featuring a new and improved liner that is softer, lighter and more comfortable.

SCD™ Soft Sleeve

Features & Benefits

Soft inner and outer lining makes sleeves even easier to wear
Lighter weight enhances patient comfort
Comfort cooling facilitates better patient compliance
Easy-to-use three-flap closure customizes fit and speeds adjustments
Improved connector design allows for quick and easy connections
Clinically proven to reduce the incidence of pulmonary embolism and DVT, the SCD RESPONSE™ Compression System is the next innovative step in the fight against venous stasis. The SCD RESPONSE system customizes the compression cycle using Vascular Refill Detection technology, which optimizes each patient’s individual venous return.
Circumferential, sequential and gradient compression ensures clearance of the deep veins without the risk of distal blood trapping. This optimal compression is delivered in terms of fit and flow, which is proven to reduce the incidence of DVT and PE.
The SCD™ Soft Sleeve features an anatomical design and adjustable sleeve closures for a customized fit.
The SCD™ Green Sleeve is a PVC-free alternative with the added benefit of waste stream reduction through unique materials that allow its incineration.
All sleeves are available in knee or thigh length and are clearly labeled for proper placement.
