The Preventive Foot Care Centers of America, a managed care podiatry network administered by the Las Vegas-based Lower Extremity Amputation Prevention (LEAP) Alliance, announced on January 22 a collaborative amputation prevention effort with Koven Technology, based in St. Louis, MO.
Koven, which manufactures specialized Doppler ultrasound devices for detection of lower extremity peripheral artery disease, is helping fund LEAP Alliance public and healthcare provider education programs through its sales of the SmartDop device and software, used to screen for and diagnose the condition.
