Abstract
The invention provides a compression device for the limb of a mobile patient. The device includes an inflatable sleeve adapted to surround the limb; a conduit attached to the sleeve for delivering fluid to the sleeve; and a portable, wearable controller attached to the conduit that generates and controls the flow of fluid in the device.
Claims25
A compression device for the limb of a mobile patient comprising:
- an inflatable sleeve adapted to surround the limb;
- a conduit attached to said sleeve for delivering fluid to said sleeve;
- and
- a portable, wearable controller attached to said conduit that generates and controls the flow of fluid in the device, the controller comprising a microprocessor control system and a pump, wherein the device is configured to provide compression to the limb using the inflatable sleeve and provide a silent mode in which the device applies compression but if the pressure falls after a period of time the device does not operate the pump to compensate and the patient can switch the device out of silent mode and reactivate the pump.

A compression device for the limb of a mobile patient comprising:
- an inflatable sleeve adapted to surround the limb;
- a conduit coupled to said sleeve for delivering fluid to said sleeve;
- and
- a portable, wearable controller coupled to said conduit that generates and controls the flow of fluid, the controller comprising a microprocessor control system and a pump, wherein the controller is configured to allow a patient to selectively operate the device in dynamic compression in which the pressure is monitored during use to provide the dynamic compression and maintain a preset compression profile on the limb or operate the device in a silent mode in which the device applies compression but if the pressure falls after a period of time the device does not operate the pump to compensate.
A compression device for the limb of a mobile patient comprising:
- an inflatable sleeve adapted to surround the limb;
- a conduit coupled to said sleeve for delivering fluid to said sleeve;
- and
- a portable, wearable controller coupled to said conduit that generates and controls the flow of fluid, the controller comprising a microprocessor control system and a pump, wherein the device is configured to provide compression to the limb using the inflatable sleeve and the device is configured to provide a silent mode in which the pump is disabled and all valves are kept closed.
