Claims4
A calf garment assembly comprising,
- a calf garment having an internal chamber being substantially airtight and being in fluid communication with a pressurized air source;
- an air-activated heat pack being entirely within the internal chamber of the calf garment and;
- the air-activated heat pack being selectively activated by the pressurized air source without the need for externally generated heat.
A method for administering heated compression therapy comprising the steps of:
- providing a calf garment assembly sealed in an airtight package, the calf garment assembly comprising,
- a calf garment having an internal chamber being substantially airtight and having a port for fluid communication with a pressurized air source,
- and an air-activated heat pack being restrained entirely within the internal chamber of the calf garment;
- removing the calf garment assembly from the airtight package;
- connecting the port of the internal chamber of the calf garment to a pressurized air source;
- wrapping the calf garment around the calf of a patient;
- whereby air is delivered to the internal chamber, and the air-activated heat pack is selectively activated by the pressurized air source.
