Measure
ACTitouch
ACTitouch in sustained gradient compression mode during all waking hours (at least 10 hours per day) and intermittent pneumatic compression mode for 2 hours each day. Dual Action Pneumatic Compression Device: A novel dual action pneumatic compression device that provides both sustained compression while ambulatory, and intermittent pneumatic compression when connected to an AC outlet.
Standard Compression Garments
Standard Compression Garments of compression levels 30mmHg to 40mmHg during all waking hours each day. Standard Compression Garments: Compression stockings with a 30-40mmHg level of compression.
