Cardinal HealthThe Kendall SCD™ 700 Controller SMART COMPRESSION™ is the next evolution of IPC.
It applies intermittent pneumatic compression to increase venous blood flow1 — helping prevent deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism in at-risk patients. The Kendall SCD™ 700 SMART COMPRESSION™ Controller delivers compression to the leg, foot, or both. Vascular refill detection (VRD) is unique to the Kendall SCD™ 700 Compression System SMART COMPRESSION™.
SMART features of the Kendall SCD™ 700 Controller:
SMART Compression Cycles
- Measure venous refill time using Vascular Refill Detection (VRD) technology and customize compression cycles automatically for each patient
- Move 1.5x more blood per hour
- Adjust accordingly when a patient’s needs change over time
SMART Patient Compliance
- Displays the patient’s true wear time by nursing shift
- Features Patient Sensing™ technology, which alerts the nurse of removed sleeves
- Provides a measurement tool to support true compliance to therapy
More features of the controller:
- Animated alerts — Icons show the cause of an error and how it can be resolved
- Visibility — Graphic user interface featuring large icons on a 3.2-inch color LCD screen
- Durability — Limited liquid ingress (rating of IP23), robust Xylex™ material, and protected battery
- Low noise — Soft overmolding with vibration dampeners for a quiet controller
- Ease of cleaning — Smooth, grooveless surfaces and slim profile; compatible with most hospital-grade cleaning agents
- Tubing assembly is provided for use with the Kendall SCD™ 700 controller.

Cardinal HealthDetailsT.E.D.™ Anti-Embolism Stockings apply the clinically proven graduated pressure pattern of 18 mmHg at the ankle, 14 mmHg at the calf, 8 mmHg at the popliteal, 10 mmHg at the lower thigh, and 8 mmHg at the higher thigh.1 T.E.D.™ Anti-Embolism Stockings provide a baseline of protection and can be used as a sole modality or in combination with other forms of thromboprophylaxis, depending on individual patient risk. T.E.D.™ Anti-Embolism Stockings are clinically proven to reduce the incidence of DVT up to 50%1 and to promote increased blood flow velocity in the legs 138%1 of baseline by compression of the deep venous system. They have also been clinically proven to prevent the damaging effects of venous distension that occurs during surgery and hospitalization.2
- Available in five sizes and three lengths, fitting up to a 36 in. thigh circumference.
- Thigh-length stocking’s include an interrupted band and two-ply gussets
- Inlay circumferential knit provides one way horizontal stretch
- Pressure break at the popliteal ensures blood will continue to flow through this critical area1
- Defined heel pocket ensures correct placement, and provides landmark for fitting
- Inspection toe opening allows easy inspection of the skin and pedal pulse

Cardinal HealthDetailsAs a part of the Kendall SCD™ 700 Compression System SMART COMPRESSION™, the Kendall SCD™ Comfort Sleeves provide circumferential compression that is clinically proven to move more blood.1-2
The Kendall SCD™ Comfort Sleeves have been designed to provide an increased level of comfort, and to increase patient compliance with mechanical prophylaxis.1
SMART features of the Kendall SCD™ Comfort Sleeves:
SMART Sleeve Design
Circumferential Design
- Bladders extend to the end of each sleeve so that therapy is delivered at all points of contact
- Compresses a larger surface area, 2 clearing blood from behind the valve cusp where most DVTs form3
- Delivers therapy regardless of sleeve position, which may save nursing time
Sequential Inflation
- Three separate chambers inflate to squeeze the leg in a ‘milking’ action
Gradient Pressure Patterns
- Helps move the blood from the legs, back up to the heart, with a clinically proven 45, 40, 30 mmHg pressure pattern.3
- Each chamber inflates at a different pressure to maximize blood flow
How the Kendall SCDTM Comfort Sleeves address patient discomfort:
- Sweat and heat: Cool, venting inner fabric helps to wick sweat away from the skin, evaporating through the soft edges. Through this process, cool air is also transferred through the vent holes.
- Pressure: An improved bladder geometry helps distribute pressure evenly.
- Skin irritation: The sleeve’s pillowcase design may help address skin irritation by allowing the layers to glide freely among each other as patient shifts in bed.
- Itchiness: The sleeve material fibres have diameters similar to silk and cashmere, helping to deliver softness and smoothness.

- 130 mmHg pressure rapid inflation
- 0.4 second rise time
- 3 second hold
- 20 second cycle time
