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. Central to this apparatus is a compression element that can be actuated to apply varying levels of pressure to the anatomical structure. The system operates in cycles, each consisting of an "actuated time" where the compression element inflates to exert a first pressure, followed by an "unactuated time" where the pressure changes to a second, distinct level. Notably, the duration of the unactuated times is randomized and varies across cycles, ensuring that no two sequential unactuated times are identical. This variability is achieved through pseudorandom values generated by a mathematical algorithm, allowing for a tailored compression therapy experience.
Further claims detail the adaptability of the apparatus, indicating that the range of random values can be adjusted 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 serving as the actuator to manage inflation and deflation. The patent also outlines methods for utilizing the apparatus, emphasizing the selective inflation and deflation of the compression element over multiple cycles. This approach not only promotes effective compression therapy but also allows for customization based on individual patient needs, potentially improving therapeutic outcomes in vascular health management.
