| 20120078157 | Device For Providing Therapeutic Pressure To a Treatment Site - The subject invention includes devices for providing therapeutic pressure to a treatment site. The devices include a bladder portion and a dressing portion. The bladder portion has opposed upper and lower exterior walls sealed to one another along common peripheral edges thereof to form an interior pressure chamber therebetween, without a lip or flange extending around the perimeter of the peripheral edge. The dressing portion is integrated with the bladder portion or detachably provided so that none of the bladder material comes into contact with the patient's skin at the treatment site. The interior pressure chamber of the bladder portion may have a number of configurations and serves as a bolster for the dressing portion, used to aid in the healing process of the wound. | 03-29-2012 |
| 20120041351 | THERAPEUTIC COMPRESSION APPARATUS - A therapeutic compression apparatus having a primary wrap, a foot wrap and a stirrup is provided. The primary wrap encircles a first portion of a leg and applies compression thereto. The foot wrap encircles at least a portion of the foot and applies compression thereto. The foot wrap may be integrated with the stirrup, detachably connected or provided separately. The compression apparatus may be configured such that one or more bladders are provided therein. The compression apparatus may include a pressure gauge and pump for controlling an amount of pressure applied to the treatment site. A bladder assembly with a number of fluid bladder configurations is also provided for use within a compression apparatus. The bladder may be configured to provide a gradient pressure profile to the treatment site when filled. | 02-16-2012 |
| 20120022422 | VENOUS CLOSURE CATHETER AND METHOD FOR SCLEROTHERAPY - A venous closure catheter is disclosed for performing sclerotherapy which includes an elongated catheter body having opposed proximal and distal end portions, a fluid delivery lumen and a guidewire lumen. A plurality of discharge apertures are associated with the distal end portion of the catheter body and communicate with the fluid delivery lumen for delivering a sclerosing solution into the saphenous vein. A circumferential flange is positioned on an exterior surface of the catheter body proximal to the discharge apertures, which has a plurality of projections formed thereon for traumatizing the inner wall of the saphenous vein upon removal of the catheter body therefrom to promote closure of saphenous vein after sclerotherapy. A compression apparatus is disclosed for providing therapeutic pressure subsequent to sclerotherapy. The compression apparatus includes first and second wraps for providing compression of an upper leg, and the lower leg and foot, respectively. | 01-26-2012 |
| 20110087142 | COMPRESSION GARMENTS WITH HEEL ELEVATION - A compression garment includes a backing member with a proximal end portion and opposed distal end portion. The backing member is configured to be disposed about at least a portion of a lower leg between calf and heel and has an inner surface to be disposed facing the lower leg, and an opposite outer surface. The garment further includes at least one compression bladder disposed within the backing member configured to compress at least a portion of the lower leg to augment venous return flow in the lower leg, an elevation member operatively coupled to the backing member and configured to elevate the heel from an underlying support surface and at least one support member disposed along a portion of the elevation member and along a portion of the backing member to retain the elevation member in a desired position with respect to the backing member to elevate the heel. | 04-14-2011 |
