What is DVT?
Deep vein thrombosis
Different Parts of the Leg Where Pain Can Occur
Thigh Pain
Knee Pain
Calf Pain
Shin Pain
Ankle Pain
Foot Pain
Generalized Leg Pain
DVT is the formation of blood clots in deep veins, often occurring in the lower extremities. Due to medical conditions that affect how the blood clots
The clots can then travel through the bloodstream and get stuck in the lungs, blocking blood flow.

Sections
Body coverage
The product consists of 3 section in the area between calf to ankle.
The air pipes are detachable and can be attached anytime.
Less mobility due to wires.
Parts like calves, ankle, foot are covered with DVT air compression pumps.

A foldable and wearable device.
Can be wrapped around your thighs, hands, calves, etc.
You can also sit and place your foot on the solid part of the body for foot therapy.
a ring structure inspired from origami for rolling movement
helps in the blood flow needed to prevent the blood clots and easy flowing
self rotational ring along with linear movement
Mockup
This pumping areas can be activated one after the other in order to create a flow/direction.
Can have different frequency, intensity and size.
Features:
Different frequencies for each other.
Different intensities for each section.
Timer (Eg. 15/20/25 mins)
Modes according to activation of sections . (Eg. 1,2,3,4,5,6)

Air Cushion and tightening Mech.
The internal configuration of the device is divided into 6 sections which have 6 air cushions and 6 tightening mechanisms.
The air (Air cushion) in these sections stays constant while the tightening mechanism are activated in patterns which help in Blood pumping and also directing the blood flow.
BUT HOW DOES THIS WORK?
Division into 6 sections
2 sections for thighs.
3 sections for calf.
1 sections for Foot.

Non - tightened bands , do not provide pressure
Tightened bands , provide pressure
With pressure
With the help of this mechanism, blood can be
Pumped and directed in a particular direction easily !

Set 1 -
Contains individual strips/bands, each with a set of layers, that aid in compression flow by being in sync with the actuator and HMI.
This sleeve covers the majority part of the Feet, Ankle to Calf, and Thigh.
Set 2 -
This sleeve covers other leg parts such as Knee and Heel. It simply has a stretchable, flexible hypoallergenic breathable fabric.

HMI + Actuator Controls
HMI - This part acts as the mind of device that regulates the compression intensity, heat controls, and helps the patient to use the device efficiently.
Actuator- This part is the key element that solely helps in the compression flow and intensity, it further is joined with each section in the sleeve for the same
