Following any surgery a patient may risk developing Deep Vein Thrombosis or (DVT) also known as blood clots. Blood clots can be deadly and have the potential to cause pulmonary embolisms. Following surgery Dr. Bootstaylor may prescribe self-administered Lovenox treatments to prevent blood clots from forming. This prescription drug has been found to safely reduce the incidents of DVT in post surgery patients.

This video helps explain how to properly self-administer Lovenox treatments but is not a replacement for the clinical care documentation that will be provided following surgery.
