In lieu of Deep Vein Thrombosis Awareness Month (DVT) SIGVARIS and Healthy Advice Networks have teamed up to raise awareness for pregnant women and venous disease. The two organizations will be airing an educational video on the Women’s Health Network alongside edema and DVT education brochures.
PR-Inside reported on the press release, “Targeting pregnant women who often suffer from swollen legs and ankles and who may not be aware of the health risks involved, SIGVARIS wants to educate them about the benefits of compression therapy garments to help reduce these risks while relieving discomfort. This educational program was launched in March to support DVT Awareness Month, the time of year.”
Half the battle with DVT and venous disease is raising awareness among the population with hopes of instilling the importance of prevention, treatments and early diagnosis.
