Flotherm provides a medical device that combines dynamic compression with lower-limb warming to manage patient risk for inadvertent perioperative hypothermia (IPH) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This non-invasive solution maintains perioperative normothermia without impeding surgical site access or altering existing clinical workflows. The device offers superior management of normothermia while simultaneously delivering venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis.

Problem
Inadvertent perioperative hypothermia (IPH), a sudden drop in body temperature during surgery, affects a significant percentage of patients despite existing interventions. Current warming solutions can be cumbersome, impede surgical site access, and increase the risk of contamination.
Solution
Flotherm Thermal Compression Device (TCD) is a medical device that combines dynamic compression with lower-limb warming to proactively manage perioperative patient safety. The non-invasive and non-surface area dependent design helps maintain normothermia and delivers venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis without disrupting surgical workflows or increasing contamination risk. Early clinical data suggests that Flotherm TCD offers superior normothermia management compared to forced air warming.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes hospitals and surgical centers focused on improving patient outcomes and reducing costs associated with IPH and VTE.
