I have heard this more than once- they are referring to the sequential compression devices they put on the patient's legs, but I have never been able to find the term anywhere. Does anyone out there know if it is Alp boots or ALP boots? Thanks!

The doctor says: He remains on s/l dimanos and cranberry, has had no urinary tract infection is 6 months although he still sees bladder shells.
I must be off on my spelling and have tried every variation that I can think of, but I'm having no luck. Any ideas, anyone?
UTI prophylaxis
Subject: UTI prophylaxis
Thank you, pdq, but I don't think that's what he's saying. This patient has C6 tetraplegia and uses the Mentor 450 Self-Cath. I wondered if it was a medical device of some sort, but he lists this dimanos as a medication too. I'm beginning to think he's using some sort of slang, but I'll be darned if I can figure it out. Looks like he may get 2 blanks for the same term.
H2 prophylaxis?
Subject: H2 prophylaxis?
Dictator states they are adding pneumatic boots as well as "H2 prophylaxis"? Does this sound right? I'm sure on the prophylaxis part but not on the H2. I have a slurer.  Thanks so much! Hope you're all having a great day!
