The WizAir-DVT is a miniature, lightweight (690 g), battery-operated and mobile intermittent pneumatic compression device (ICD), which enables continuous intraoperative use and immediate patient mobilization postoperatively. We compared its efficacy with a commonly used ICD, the Kendall SCD. Peak femoral vein flow velocity was measured in 20 apparently healthy volunteers at rest and with each device: we found no significant differences between them. A second prospective, randomized, clinical trial was used to compare the efficiency of the device in preventing deep venous thrombosis (DVT) after joint replacement in 50 patients (n=25/group). None developed DVT. Doppler ultrasonography revealed no significant differences. The WizAir-DVT antithrombotic compression device is as safe and effective as the Kendall SCD.
WizAir-DVT是一种微型、轻便（690克）、电池供电的移动式间歇性气动压迫装置（ICD），可在术中持续使用，并能使患者术后立即活动。我们将其疗效与常用的ICD肯德尔SCD进行了比较。在20名明显健康的志愿者休息时以及使用每种装置时测量了股静脉峰值流速：我们发现两者之间无显著差异。第二项前瞻性、随机临床试验用于比较该装置在50例患者（每组n = 25）关节置换术后预防深静脉血栓形成（DVT）的效果。无一例发生DVT。多普勒超声检查显示无显著差异。WizAir-DVT抗血栓压迫装置与肯德尔SCD一样安全有效。
