Embodiment Construction

[0018] figure 1 A conceptual diagram illustrates a system, shown generally at 100 , for applying compression therapy to a patient in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The system 100 includes a compression garment 102 , a controller 104 , and a pump 106 . The controller 104 controls the operation of the pump 106 to selectively inflate the laundry 102 via a conduit connected to an outlet (also denoted by reference numeral 106 ). The controller 104 is also adapted to receive data from a plurality of adapted sensors S 1 -S N signal and is adapted according to the adapter sensor S 1 -S N The generated signal indicates the fit of the garment 102 to the patient in use via the fit indicator 108 .

[0019] see figure 2 , a compression garment embodying aspects of the present invention is indicated generally at 202 and is shown in an unbuttoned configuration. on the other hand, image 3 Garment 202 for applying intermittent, selective compression is shown ...

Abstract

The invention relates to fitting of compression garment. Optimizing fit of a compression garment for use with a patient receiving compression therapy. Sensors formed on the garment detect characteristics of the fit of the garment in the vicinity of each sensor. The fit sensors may be capacitive disks imprinted on the garment. A controller computes overall fit of the garment on the patient based on signals from the sensors.

Description

Background technique [0001] A major concern for patients with reduced mobility or similar populations are medical conditions in which clots form in the blood, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or peripheral edema. Such patients and populations typically include those undergoing surgery, anesthesia, prolonged bed rest, and the like. These clotting conditions usually occur in the deep veins of the lower extremities and / or pelvis. These veins, such as the iliac, femoral, popliteal, and tibial, return deoxygenated blood to the heart. When blood circulation in these veins is blocked due to, for example, disease, injury, or inactivity, blood has a tendency to pool or pool. Static pooling of blood can lead to the formation of blood clots. The main risk associated with this condition is disturbance of the cardiovascular circulation. At worst, fragments of the blood clot break free and migrate. A pulmonary embolism can form from debris that can block an artery in the lung, which ...
