Intermittent Pneumatic Compression

Intermittent Pneumatic Compression (IPC) is a medical therapy that uses inflatable sleeves or cuffs applied to the limbs. These sleeves periodically inflate and deflate to apply pressure, promoting better blood circulation. This process helps prevent blood clots, reduce swelling, and support healing, especially after surgery or during long periods of immobility. IPC is often used in hospitals and clinics to enhance recovery and improve overall vascular health. The therapy is usually safe, non-invasive, and can be tailored to individual patient needs.
