Embodiment Construction

[0087] figure 1A circumference measuring device according to the invention is shown in its installed form for measuring the circumference of an object, in particular for measuring the circumference of a body part. The measuring device comprises a reel 10 of a flexible longitudinal element 1 having a first longitudinal direction and arranged for attachment along an object, in particular along a body part. The flexible longitudinal element 1 is connected to distal and proximal straps (not shown). Furthermore, the flexible longitudinal element 1 comprises different fixed connection areas 2, 2', 2" in the form of perforations positioned at regular intervals.

[0088] Furthermore, as shown, the measuring device according to the invention comprises a measuring system 3 comprising a connection member 4 in the form of a protrusion, which ensures a different fixed connection of the measuring system 3 to the flexible longitudinal element 1 Connection of at least one fixed connection ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a device for measuring the circumference of an object, in particular to a device for measuring the circumference of a body limb.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for measuring the circumference of an object, in particular a device for measuring the circumference of a body part. Background technique [0002] Measuring the circumference of body parts such as arms or legs is particularly recommended as part of the evaluation and follow-up of physiotherapy treatments, such as for the treatment of lymphedema, which is swelling of a body part due to the accumulation of lymphatic fluid in the interstitial tissue . When the lymphatic vessels (lymphangions) that make up the lymphatic vessels are degenerated or nonfunctional (primary lymphedema) or when the lymphatic vessels themselves are damaged or blocked and when lymph nodes have been removed (secondary lymphoedema) edema), this swelling occurs. [0003] More specifically, secondary lymphedema is the result of injury or trauma, such as from an accident, surgery, severe infection or radiation therapy, or other causes. [0004] This...
