Compression garment apparatus

A garment configured to be worn by a user to promote fluid flow within a body of the user via compressive force, the garment comprising:

• a strap configured to be disposed around an anatomical feature of the user;
• and
• an actuator unit comprising:
• a housing having an interior space and a plurality of channels configured to receive a wire therein such that the wire wraps around features of the housing;
• a first lever disposed within the interior space, the first lever configured to rotate;
• a slide configured to be pulled against the first lever by a contraction of the wire to cause the rotation of the first lever;
• a sled disposed at least partially within the interior space of the housing and coupled to the strap of the compression garment, the sled configured to be moved by rotation of the first lever to pull the strap to apply compression to the anatomical feature of the user.

An actuator unit comprising:

• a housing having an interior space and a plurality of channels configured to receive a wire therein such that the wire wraps around features of the housing;
• one or more levers disposed within the interior space, the one or more levers configured to rotate;
• a slide configured to be pulled against the one or more levers by a contraction of the wire to cause the rotation of the one or more levers;
• and
• a sled disposed at least partially within the interior space of the housing, the sled configured to be moved by rotation of the one or more levers, and wherein the one or more levers are configured to amplify a pull force generated by the contraction of the wire.
