I type SCDs frequently.  The sequential compression devices are kept on the legs for DVT prophylaxis.   It's been done for many years.  Sometimes they keep them on after surgery.  I think they are like boots that squeeze your legs and keep the blood flowing.   I have just used the term just this last week in surgery and just a few minutes for after surgery.  Sorry, I have never heard of SPDs...and Ive been around doing this stuff for 29 years....not to say it not possible, but just I have never heard that term before!
