In the U.S. alone, more than 600,000 new cases of DVT are diagnosed each year, and one in every 100 patients who develop DVT dies due to pulmonary embolism. Possis is committed to helping improve the quality of life for patients with debilitating DVT and pulmonary embolism, the number one killer of patients with DVT. |
