Title:
制御された調整可能圧縮を肢に付与する装置
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2005529703
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A tubular sleeve ( 40 ) comprises an anterior portion ( 16 ) of inextensible material that comes to bear against the tibial ridge, and a posterior portion ( 18 ) of extensible material covering the region to be compressed. These two portions are connected together along two connection generator lines ( 20 ). Inflatable balloons ( 22 ) are disposed on the inside face of the anterior portion, being interposed between the inextensible material and the tibial crest. Means ( 24, 26, 28 ) are provided for inflating each of the balloons differently to a respective given pressure so as to apply deformation to the anterior portion of the sleeve that is suitable for inducing a traction force that is exerted on the extensible posterior portion; this force is distributed regularly along the generator lines and acts perpendicularly thereto, and consequently leads to compression action on the compressible region of the limb.
