Devices for functional revascularization by alternating pressure

A device for administering intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) and Protocols of Artificially Induced Oscillations (PAIO) useful in alleviating peripheral circulatory disorders of a treated organ and in wound healing of a treated organ, comprising a wearable body portion enclosure (BPE) adapted to contact said treated organ, said BPE comprising:

• a. one or more balloons adapted to be inflated and deflated for creating said IPC;
• b. one or more pressure sources in fluid communication with said balloons by way of one or more valves;
• c. one or more vibrating elements adapted to produce PAIO;
• d. a controlling unit adapted to operate said pressure sources, and to operate said vibrating elements;
• whereby IPC and PAIO may be individually administered to said treated organ according to predetermined protocols.

A method useful for alleviating peripheral circulatory disorders of a treated organ and for wound healing in a said treated organ, comprising steps of:

• a. placing one or more gas-impermeable balloon(s) into contact with one or more areas of the treated organ, said balloons being integrated within a wearable body part enclosure (BPE);
• b. placing one or more pressure sources in fluid communication with said gas impermeable balloons by way of one or more valves;
• c. placing one or more vibrating elements adapted to produce artificially induced oscillations in direct or indirect mechanical contact with one or more areas of treated organ;
• d. administering intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) and artificially induced oscillations (PAIO) by means of a controlling unit adapted to operate said balloons by means of said valves, and operate said vibrating elements;
• whereby IPC and PAIO may be individually administered to said treated organ according to predetermined protocols.
