Compression garment for selective application of treatment of lymphedema and related illnesses manifested at various location of the body

摘要

A compression garment for selective application for treatment of lymphedema and related illnesses manifested at various locations of the body. The garment includes a pair or series of layers (1, 2) of hermetically sealed material, that can capture pressurized air, when applied therein, and is formed through the patterned sealing of the layers of the garment together, at locations to form air pockets (4) that can selectively apply isolated points of pressure to the patient's affected area without disrupting normal vascular and lymphatic functioning. The garment is design-cut for application to various segments of the body and applies encompassing pressure over the entire affected area, and includes valves (10) that can allow for the injection of measurable air to the desired pressure points, or its deflation, after treatment.
