20120065561 | DEVICE, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR THE TREATMENT, PREVENTION AND DIAGNOSIS OF CHRONIC VENOUS INSUFFICIENCY, DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS, LYMPHEDEMA AND OTHER CIRCULATORY CONDITIONS - A compression device for applying compression to an extremity of a mammal includes a cuff adapted to be placed around and secured to the extremity. A control and tensioning unit is attached to the cuff and is operable to control a tension of the cuff to thereby control the compression applied to the extremity. The cuff may further include a bladder system, in which case the compression device further includes a hydraulic pump that is operable to transfer fluid within the bladder system to control the compression applied to the extremity. | 03-15-2012 |
