A compression garment for a limb is disclosed. The garment can include a body portion and a spine portion. Each of the body and spine portions can have a plurality of bands (e.g. bands for adjusting tension of the garment). The spine portion can be releasably attached onto the body portion such that the spine portion is positionable at different locations on the body portion to adjust a width of the garment. The bands of the body portion and/or of the spine portion can be trimmable and include a detachable fastener, whereby as a result the band can be caused to move to a plurality of different positions to adjust the garment to a plurality of different sized limbs (e.g. different sized feet).

An apparatus for applying a compressive bandage on a residual limb enables a user to apply a compression bandage to his or her residual limb without assistance from a physical therapist or an assistant. As used herein, the compressive bandage serves as a transition layer between a residual limb and a prosthetic device. The apparatus enables a user to apply a compression bandage by simply moving his or her residual limb through the device.

A versatile therapeutic joint compression, comfort, cooling, and heating compress pad and wrap consisting of a dome shaped receptacle member designed to hold a hot or cold compress pack or with a gel insert that is neither heated nor cooled, in an interior compartment, as well as a crescent shaped compression flange member, the combination of the dome (cap) and flange (brim) forming a structure similar to a baseball cap, and additionally a plurality of flexible straps to affix or secure the cap and brim to a variety of human joints such as a knee, heel, elbow, or shoulder for treating a great variety of medical conditions relating thereto.

In one embodiment, an anatomical support device includes an elongate body. The elongate body includes a first portion extending along a longitudinal axis between a first end and an oppositely positioned second end, a first wing extending transversely from the first portion, and a second wing extending transversely from the first portion. An adhesive material is positioned on at least a portion of one side of the elongate body. The elongate body is rigid in a first direction extending in-line with the longitudinal axis and is stretchable in a second direction extending transversely to the longitudinal axis.

The present invention relates to garments and kits, including uses thereof, for providing therapeutic compression such as compression therapy for the treatment of circulatory disorders such as Lymphedema and Venous Disease.

A light therapy apparatus includes a pad comprising at least a first layer and a second layer and a side scattering light guide mounted between the first layer and the second layer and having a first end and a second end. The first end and the second end extend in parallel with each other externally from the pad, the side scattering light guide extends from at least one of the first end or the second end in a sinusoidal shape or an inward extending circular spiral between the first layer and the second layer, and at least one of the first layer or the second layer is translucent.

A compression system for applying compression to a body part of a user. The compression system has a sleeve for substantially covering a portion of the body part of a user. The sleeve has two lateral side edges. In the transverse direction from the first lateral side edge to the second lateral side edge the sleeve has a first lateral side region, a central region and a second lateral side region. At least the central region of the sleeve has a material with elasticity in the transverse direction and longitudinal direction of the sleeve. The compression system has a releasable closure system. Upon closure of the closure system the sleeve is restrained and tightened about the body part of the user.
