Compression garment (1) for a limb of a person, comprising a flexible body portion (2) having a first, limbward side (3) and a second side (4) opposing the first side (3), and at least one band (6) extending from a lateral side (30) of the body portion (2) for wrapping around the limb, wherein the band (6) comprises a fastener (13) such that the end of the band (6) is removably attachable onto the compression garment (1) when wrapped around the limb, whereby the body portion (2) further comprises at least one guiding element (10) providing a channel (9) for receiving the band (6) and guiding the band (6) back over itself when the band (6) spans over the first side (3) to provide an opening (8) for receiving the limb.

An external counter pulsation system (ECP) and method for using the system to improve circulation as well as cardiovascular related diseases. The ECP system of the present invention comprises a helical air bladder for modulating blood flow of major veins and arteries of the thigh. High efficiency is realized with the helical shape of the air bladder to lower the cost, weight and size of the ECP of the present invention.

A therapeutic compression apparatus for providing pressure to a limb or other body part including a bladder assembly having at least one bladder within a primary wrap and/or a secondary wrap. The primary wrap includes an inflation port to connect to an inflation means which provides either constant or varying pressure within the bladder and a check valve is included in the inflation port and/or inflation means.

A system for automated delivery and monitoring compliance for repeated remote ischemic conditioning treatments incudes at least one device for automated delivery of the therapy and at least one communications module to collect and record usage data. Reports of subject compliance with a predetermined schedule of therapy delivery is transmitted to the central database and a prescribing physician.

An intermittent pneumatic compression system provides exhaust between a wrap and patient's leg, avoids tubes and is operable on a conventional battery. The system allows true portability while improving patient discomfort, reducing fall risks, and providing desired therapeutic and prophylactic compression.

A therapeutic compression garment made from body and band portions wherein at least one of the body and spine portions is narrower or wider across its mid-section than at either or both of its top and bottom edges such that the garment assumes a non-planar shape when the body and spine portions are attached together.

A blood flow stimulating device including a boot including a sole and an upper; a sock disposed within the boot; and a bladder disposed within or on the sock, wherein the bladder is configured to undergo repeated inflation and deflation so as to stimulate blood flow in a wearer of the blood flow stimulating device, wherein the sock further includes a toe region, a heel region and a raised portion between the toe region and the heel region that, in use, reduces the distance between the sock and a foot of a wearer of the blood flow stimulating device at the raised portion of the sock.

A wearable massage and/or compression device for applying controllable scrolling or intermittent sequential forces, such as compression forces, to the body and limbs of a user comprises an elongated fabric body sized to encircle a limb of a user, one or more shape-memory wires carried by the fabric body and configured to apply a compression pressure to the limb through the fabric body upon changing shape in response to a stimulus, and a micro-processor based controller for selectively actuating the one or more shape-changing elements to reduce the effective diameter of the device encircling the limb, to thereby apply pressure to the limb.

Embodiments relate to devices, systems and methods of assisting blood flow return to the heart from a limb. The device comprising a wearable garment (115) and a compression apparatus (110) embedded in the garment (115) for applying an external compression according to a compression sequence to a muscle of a limb of a user based on real-time measurements regarding a cardiac cycle having a diastolic phase and systolic of the user and real-time measurements of muscle activity. The compression sequence is synchronized to comment when both the local blood flow at the limb is in the diastolic phase and the muscle is in a non-contracted state.

Splints for diagnostic and/or therapeutic purposes are disclosed. In one aspect, the present disclosure relates to a splint system for diagnostic and/or therapeutic functions for a patient with a vascular impairment. In one embodiment, the splint system includes a splint having: a leg supporting portion and a foot supporting portion, that are configured to support and secure the leg and foot of the patient; a locally and/or remotely controllable portion for setting a dorsiflexion angle of the foot of the patient, including electrical and/or mechanical controls and one or more actuators for setting of the dorsiflexion angle, for providing treatment to improve vascular function; and a plurality of physiological parameter sensors for measuring physiological parameters of the leg and/or foot of the patient, wherein the physiological parameters are associated with vascular function in the leg and/or foot of the patient.
