Abstract
The present invention provides an improved bilateral compression device for post-operative surgical site, the bilateral compression device including a central cavity presented by an outerwall and a circumscribing sidewall, the central cavity in receipt of a post-operative pillow further comprising an outer membrane separated from an inner membrane for exerting a central compressive force towards the post-operative surgical area which varies from a surrounding compression force.
Claims12
A post-operative bilateral compression device comprising:
- a central cavity presented by an outerwall and a circumscribing sidewall, said circumscribing sidewall presenting a contoured surface;
- a band secured to said circumscribing sidewall for securing said post-operative bilateral compression device during use;
- a post-operative pillow received by said central cavity and configured to provide multiple compressive forces;
- a compression membrane configured to exert said multiple compressive forces and a recess presented by said post-operative pillow, said multiple compressive forces comprising a central compressive force and a surrounding compressive force;
- said recess configured to reduce said central compressive force such that said central compressive force is less than said surrounding compressive force;
- and
- said compression membrane associated with a surrounding compressive force which extends outwardly from said recess.

A post-operative bilateral compression device comprising:
- a central cavity presented by an outerwall and a circumscribing sidewall, said circumscribing sidewall presenting a contoured surface;
- a band secured to said circumscribing sidewall for securing said post-operative bilateral compression device during use;
- said band secured by a headband junction to an adjustment member;
- said adjustment member comprising a plurality of spaced indicia extending along at least a portion of said band, wherein at least one of said indicia correspond to an applied compressive force;
- a post-operative pillow received by said central cavity and presenting at least a first and a second compressive force;
- said first compressive force associated with a recess;
- and
- said second compressive force associated with a compression membrane and extending outwardly from said recess along said compression membrane, said second compressive force being less than said first compressive force.
