MEASURE COMPARTMENT PRESSURE PRECISELY IN JUST SECONDS
COMPASS COMPARTMENT PRESSURE TESTING DEVICE
Compartment Pressure Testing
When a crush injury, a car accident, or a sports injury occurs, it raises the question, Does this patient have compartment syndrome. Confirming compartment syndrome quickly and confidently can be difficult. Often, the current capital equipment is unavailable or locked up, and the consumable components are expired. Combine that with a surgeon in a scheduled procedure and the delays in treatment grow longer.
Confirmation in seconds with Compass.

In a typical ED scenario, the orthopedist is informed of a suspected case, but is busy with a scheduled procedure.
Delays and indecision regarding the treatment of compartment syndrome can lead to serious complications. Nerves and tissue can die and muscles can be damaged quickly:
