“Reinvigorated a hospital compression product for the prevention of DVT and subsequent Pulmonary Embolism”.
State of affairs:

product update or improvements

The issues involved the following:
Compliance, product ergonomics, hospital dynamics, cost, training, application, human physiology and mortality
