A compression and sensing system and/or method can include a wearable compressive pressure device comprising an elastic fabric; an electrically conductive yarn knitted into the device and comprising a transmission circuit configured to transmit an electrical signal representing a compressive pressure value in an area of a body to a connection point on the transmission circuit; a sensor connectable to the transmission circuit and configured to sense compressive pressure in the area of a body to which the device is applied; and a data processor/display unit connectable to the transmission circuit and configured to display the transmitted compressive pressure value. The data processor/display unit can be utilized to read interface compressive pressure provided by an inner sleeve and the cumulative interface compressive pressure provided by the inner sleeve and an outer wrap.

A medical recovery device is provided that can be worn by a user following an operation or injury. The medical recovery device may be in the form of a boot to be worn on a foot of the user, which includes one or more windows to provide access to a wound, a cooling system and a compression system to reduce the risk of blood clotting. The medical recovery device may also be in the form of a cast or splint, such as an ankle, knee, wrist or elbow cast.

The present invention comprises a therapy boot for treatment of the ankle or lower leg. The therapy boot comprises a hard outer shell with an open anterior portion, a base portion, a posterior portion, and two oppositely disposed side portions extending from the base portion and connected to the posterior portion. At least one pocket with an opening may be provided in the hard outer shell. An inflatable chamber may be disposed on an inside of the at least one pocket. A respective gel pack may be adapted to be inserted into the at least one pocket through the opening to provide heat or cold to at least one of the lower leg and the ankle. Upon pressurization of the inflatable chamber, the respective gel pack is configured to be pressed against at least one of the lower leg and the ankle.

A method of treating a patient suffering from over-active bladder (OAB) or other urinary or bowel movement disorder includes placing at least one thermal device on an exterior portion of the patient's body proximate to the patient's saphenous nerve or the patient's tibial nerve. The thermal device includes a number of heating elements and a number of cooling elements arranged in a thermal array. The method also includes activating the heating elements and the cooling elements to stimulate the saphenous nerve and/or the tibial nerve to alleviate symptoms of the over-active bladder or the other urinary or bowel movement disorder.

There is provided a transvenous approach for accessing and targeting neural treatment sites to relieve a variety of clinical indications, including peripheral neuropathy. A neurosome approach is described that includes one or more target nerves to receive selective cryoneurolysis via a target vein. A range of different freeze and thaw cycles are performed via the target vein to induce a desired thermal treatment temperature range for selective sensory loss without adverse impact or minimal impact to associated motor nerves. The target nerves and veins are selected to combine the treatment of the identified neurosome for pain relief in addition to the regenerative properties of cryoneurolysis.
