Hi doctors, Do you think I’d a good idea to buy a Sequential compression device (SCD) for after my surgery? I will be wearing my binder at all times and walking a little(of course) but I do want to make sure I do everything on my end to reduce DVT or other complications. What do you think of this idea?
