Air Escort to add DVT Equipment to flights

Air Escort will be adding DVT compression equipment to its equipment listings for trips that involve patients who cannot ambulate on the aircraft. These garments are attached to a machine that will compress the legs and assist in reducing the incidents of Deep Vein Thrombosis, which has occurred in the past with passengers seated for long amounts of time. We feel that the investment in this equipment shows our deep commitment to our clients in providing them with the best patient care and safest medical escort possible says Joe Gonzales, CEO of Air Escort. These garments should be in flight by June.
