Abstract
An apparatus for applying pressure to a body part comprising: a first sleeve comprising a multiplicity of pressure-applying resilient protrusions configured to apply a therapeutic pressure to a surface of the body part of a patient; and a second sleeve slidably received over the first sleeve, the second sleeve configured to apply a pressure to the first sleeve, thereby increasing the therapeutic pressure applied by the first sleeve on the limb.
Claims9
A system for applying pressure to a body limb, said system comprising:
- a first sleeve configured to be slid over the limb and to apply an inward pressure onto the limb;
- a second sleeve configured to be slid over the first sleeve and to apply additional inward pressure onto the limb;
- and
- a third sleeve configured to be slid over the second sleeve and to apply additional inward pressure onto said limb.
