Abstract
A compression wrap and method for temperature-controlled application of pressure on an arm of a subject, comprising a fluid bladder comprising a first element comprising two or more first flaps; a second element comprising one or more digital flaps; and a third element comprising two or more second flaps, wherein the first element and the third element are connected along a first edge and the second element is connected to the first element and the third element along a second edge.
Claims18
A compression wrap for temperature-controlled application of pressure on an arm of a subject, the compression wrap comprising:
- a fluid bladder comprising:
- a first element comprising two or more first flaps;
- a second element comprising one or more digital flaps;
- a third element comprising two or more second flaps, wherein the first element and the third element are connected along a first edge and the second element is connected to the first element and the third element along a second edge;
- a fluid cavity configured to be deposed proximate to the arm;
- and
- an air cavity configured to compress the fluid cavity against the arm;
- wherein the liquid cavity comprises a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet, the liquid inlet disposed on a first flap or a second flap and away from the second element, the liquid cavity comprising a passageway that runs through the liquid cavity from the liquid inlet to the liquid outlet.
A method of applying temperature-controlled pressure to an arm of a subject, the method comprising:
- providing a compression wrap, the compression wrap comprising:
- a fluid bladder comprising:
- a first element comprising two or more first flaps;
- a second element comprising one or more digital flaps;
- and
- a third element comprising two or more second flaps, wherein the first element and the third element are connected along a first edge and the second element is connected to the first element and third element along a second edge;
- securing the compression wrap on the arm by attaching each of the two or more second flaps to a corresponding first flap;
- and
- injecting air and coolant into the fluid bladder;
- whereincoolant is injected into a liquid cavity of the fluid batter, the liquid cavity positioned against the subject, thenliquid cavity comprising a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet, the liquid inlet disposed on a first flap or second flap and away from the second element, the liquid cavity comprising a passageway that runs through the liquid cavity from the liquid inlet to the liquid outlet.
