Embodiment Construction

[0036] In the embodiments disclosed below, the garments described are designed to fit around the patient's calf. However, it should be understood that the garment can have many different shapes, designed to fit around different parts of the patient's body. Typically, the garment will be designed to fit around part or all of the patient's leg, but it may also be designed to fit around the patient's arm or other body part. For this purpose, although the embodiment of the garment described below includes three inflatable chambers, it may have a different number of chambers, depending primarily on the overall dimensions of the garment, the size of the chambers and the pressure profile to be created on the garment . Thus, in some cases the garment may have only two chambers, while in other embodiments the garment may have more than three chambers, such as four, five or more.

[0037] As part of an integrated DVT prevention system, the garment provides a physical therapy delivery ...

Abstract

A pressure cuff or garment (10) for prophylactic treatment of deep vein thrombosis includes a series of three chambers (24-28) arranged in series and coupled fluidically to one another by bleed tubes or chokes (32,34). The chambers (24-28) are of curved shape so as to overlap one another. The cuff or garment (24-28) provides more effective pulsating pressure treatment than prior art structures.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a pressure cuff or garment, in particular a pressure cuff or garment suitable for deep vein thrombosis prophylaxis. Background technique [0002] One of the key recognized principles of deep vein thrombosis (hereafter DVT) prevention is the application of intermittent compression to the patient's extremities, specifically the leg where DVT occurs most frequently. The intent of this intermittent compression is to prevent haemostatism that can lead to thrombosis. Specifically, the treatment temporarily occludes the patient's blood vessel by compressing the vein, and then opens the vessel by releasing the compressed pressure, causing blood to rush through the vein and thereby avoiding long-term statistics. In general, therefore, there are two distinct phases of the applied DVT therapy characteristic curve. There is a first inflation period in which pressure is applied to the patient's body, followed by a second (wait) pe...
