New Compression Device Aims to ‘Squeeze’ the Competition
May 31, 2019
FISHERS, IN (Inside Indiana Business) May 30, 2019 – “A Fishers-based company says it’s creating a replacement for “one of the most universally-hated products” among surgical patients. Although detested, intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) devices are required after the vast majority of surgeries; worn on the calf from knee to ankle, the sleeves squeeze the legs every 60 seconds, increasing blood flow to prevent clots due to immobility. Following a major boost—$1.8 million from the National Institutes of Health (NIH)—Recovery Force will soon have Hoosiers testing its compression device, which the startup says patients will no longer loathe, and doctors will celebrate for the added benefit of mobility data.”
