Blood flow stimulator for enhancing limb circulation
The granted patent US12011416B2 describes a blood flow stimulator designed to enhance blood circulation in a patient's limb. The device features a housing that can be sealed around the limb, creating a controlled environment within a designated volume. This housing includes two seals: the first engages with a portion of the limb to isolate the internal volume from the external environment, while the second divides the internal volume into two sections. The stimulator incorporates multiple conduits, including a first conduit for connecting to an external blood filtration circuit, a second conduit linked to one section of the internal volume, and a third conduit connected to the other section. A force generator is integrated into the system to create a pressure differential, applying force to the skin of the limb to promote blood flow.
Additionally, the patent outlines various features of the blood flow stimulator, including the option for the force generator to be a pump or utilize adhesive or suction mechanisms. A controller with processing circuitry is included to manage the operation of the force generator, allowing it to adjust based on physical or physiological parameters, such as the patient's respiratory cycle. The housing is designed to transition between open and closed configurations, facilitated by a hinge mechanism, and includes a locking mechanism to secure it in place. The patent also mentions the inclusion of a blood filtration circuit as part of the device, enhancing its functionality in promoting blood flow.
