Welcome to Smart Compression™
Found only in the Kendall SCD™ 700 Smart Compression™ system.
The Smart Compression™ Difference in SCD
It’s compression that moves more blood1* to help prevent stasis.1 That tracks compliance2 with Patient Sensing™ technology. That educates patients and clinicians about the risk of VTE all while keeping the environment in mind. That’s Smart Compression™.
Learn more about the 5 components of Smart Compression™:
It’s compression that thinks.
That senses. That reacts. That provides each patient with an automated, customized compression cycle around the leg.
Learn how
It's compression that's circumferential.
That’s clinically proven to move more blood.1,3* That provides positionally independent compression on all sides of the leg to reduce the risk of VTE and save nursing time4.
Learn how
It’s compression that’s observant.
With Patient SensingTM technology, nurses are alerted of removed sleeves and able to see the patient’s true therapy delivery time, not just run time. Because when pumps monitor patients 24/7, you won’t have to, that’s smart compliance.
Learn how
It’s compression that protects the environment.4
That helps minimize waste. That saves hospitals money along the way.4 Bettering our patients and bettering our world. That’s smart sustainability and it's available in the Kendall SCD™ 700 Smart Compression™ system.

Together, we can keep patients safe.
As our partner in prevention, you’ll access educational content to help grow awareness with evidence, best practices, and a community of other clinicians to support the fight against HA-VTE. Because together, we can help reduce HA-VTE.
