Apparatus for promoting vascular circulation with variable compression
The patent US12023302B2 describes an innovative apparatus designed to enhance vascular circulation through a specialized garment that partially encircles a patient's anatomical structure. This apparatus features a compression element that can be actuated to apply pressure to the targeted area. The system is controlled by a controller that communicates with an actuator and the compression element via a conduit. The unique aspect of this invention lies in its ability to operate over multiple cycles, where each cycle consists of an actuated time—during which the compression element inflates to exert a specific pressure—and an unactuated time, where the pressure changes to a different level. Notably, the unactuated times are randomly and constantly variable, ensuring that no two sequential deflation periods are identical in length, which is achieved through pseudorandom values generated by a mathematical algorithm.
Further claims detail the adaptability of the apparatus, allowing the controller to determine the range of random values based on various parameters, including the patient's condition, the anatomical structure being treated, and environmental factors. The compression element may consist of an inflatable chamber, with a pump facilitating its inflation and deflation. The patent also outlines methods for using the apparatus, emphasizing the selective inflation and deflation of the compression element over a series of cycles. This variability in compression timing is intended to optimize therapeutic outcomes for patients, making the apparatus suitable for a range of anatomical structures, including limbs and the abdomen. Overall, the invention aims to provide a dynamic and responsive approach to compression therapy, potentially improving vascular health and patient comfort.
