Compression device set and method for attaching device

A compression device set comprising:

• a compression member and a cover member;
• the compression member comprising an adhesive sheet, a holding member and an inflatable body:
• the adhesive sheet possessing an upper surface and also possessing a lower surface that is an adhesion surface configured to adhere the adhesive sheet to a biological surface;
• the holding member being fixed to the upper surface of the adhesive sheet so that a portion of the upper surface of the adhesive sheet is in contact with the holding member, the holding member possessing a lower surface that faces toward the biological surface when the adhesive sheet is adhered to the biological surface;
• the inflatable body being fixed to the holding member and being positioned in underlying relation to the lower surface of the holding member so that the inflatable body is located between the lower surface of the holding member and the biological surface when the adhesive sheet is adhered to the biological surface, the inflatable body having an interior and an outer surface, the inflatable body being expandable upon introducing a fluid into the interior of the inflatable body to press the outer surface of the inflatable body against a portion of the biological surface and apply a compression force to the portion of the biological surface when the adhesive sheet is adhered to the biological surface;
• the cover member being attachable to the compression member, the cover member including a surface configured to contact a part of the compression member when the cover member is attached to the compression member so that a force applied to the cover member is transmitted to the adhesive sheet of the compression member to press the adhesion surface of the adhesive sheet into adhering contact with the biological surface.

A method for attaching a compression device to a biological surface so that the compression device is operable to compress the biological surface,

• the compression device including:
• an adhesive sheet possessing a lower surface and possessing an upper surface side, the lower surface of the adhesive sheet including an adhesion surface configured to be adhered to the biological surface;
• a compression member that is fixed to the adhesive sheet on the upper surface side of the adhesive sheet and that is configured to compress the biological surface in a state in which the adhesion surface of the adhesive sheet is adhered to the biological surface;
• the adhesive sheet including a first portion that is in contact with the compression member and a second portion that is not in contact with the compression member, and
• the method comprising:
• attaching a cover member to the compression member so that the cover member contacts an upper surface of at least a part of the second portion of the adhesive sheet;
• and
• pressing at least a part of the second portion of the adhesive sheet toward the biological surface via the cover member, and adhering at least the part of the second portion of the adhesive sheet to the biological surface.
