Connective tissue modification cuff

A connective tissue modification cuff, comprising:

• a main body having an exterior surface and an interior surface, and further having a variable compression area near a proximal end and an adjustment zone near a distal end;
• the variable compression area containing a plurality of variable compression beads disposed on the interior surface;
• the adjustment zone adapted to provide space along the interior surface of the connective tissue modification cuff along which an adjustment tongue can slide as the cuff is tightened;
• the adjustment tongue separate and adjustably attached to the distal end of the main body and adapted to slide against the adjustment zone as the tongue is tightened, wherein a proximal end of the adjustment tongue is a free end and a distal end of the adjustment tongue is adapted to be releasably attached to the distal end of the main body;
• a releasable attachment located at the adjustment tongue distal end, the releasable attachment adapted to releasably grasp and hold to a corresponding adjustable attachment area on an exterior surface of the cuff;
• a tightening handle attached to the adjustment tongue distal end and adapted to allow a person to grasp and pull the tightening handle to assist the person in applying the cuff tightly around a body portion;
• a tensioning system attached to the adjustment tongue distal end and the distal end of the main body of the cuff and adapted to selectively draw the tongue to the main body and thereby decrease an inside diameter of the cuff;
• and
• wherein the tensioning system utilizes a reel and laces apparatus adapted to lace together the adjustment tongue and the main body of the cuff, and further adapted to evenly draw together the adjustment tongue and the main body of the cuff as a user turns the reel and thereby winds up the laces.
