Appl. No.:

09/398324

Inventors:

Todd Alan Carpenter - San Diego CA
Sandra Anne Shaw - Coronado CA
James Pope - San Diego CA

Assignee:

Circaid Medical Produts, Inc. - San Diego CA

International Classification:

A61F 1300

US Classification:

602 75, 602 60, 602 62

Abstract:

A device is provided for compression of objects such as parts of the body. The device has the form of a band that can be shaped like a sleeve, wrap or garment that is sized to encircle the body part or other compressible object and having a component or components made of an elastic material. Indicia such as tick marks or scales are printed on the device. The stretch of the elastic material as the device is tensioned around the body part causes increased separation of the indicia or movement of a free end of the band with respect to the indicia. A system measures the separation of the indicia and converts it to compression as a function of the circumference of the body part. The system may be a card having edges with measurement scales or the scales may be printed on the device and the displacement of a free end of a band or sub-band of the device with respect to the scales indicates the compression for particular circumferences of the body part. The device may have additional scales printed on it for measuring the circumference of the body part.

Assignee:

CIRCAID MEDICAL PRODUCTS - San Diego CA

International Classification:

A61B 17/12

US Classification:

606201

Abstract:

A therapeutic compression garment, including: a body portion; and a spine portion, wherein the bands extending from either the body portion and/or spine portion attach the body and spine portions together when the body and spine portions are wrapped around a body limb, and wherein the spine portion is releasably attached onto the body portion such that the spine portion is positionable at different locations on the body portion.

Assignee:

CIRCAID MEDICAL PRODUCTS - San Diego CA

International Classification:

A61F 13/00

US Classification:

602 75

Abstract:

A compression garment, having: (a) a body portion dimensioned to be wrapped around a body limb, the body portion having a top edge, a bottom edge and a pair of opposite side edges; and (b) a plurality of bands, wherein the bands are each attachable onto the body portion at a plurality of different locations, and wherein the bands wrap around part of the body portion when the body portion is wrapped around the body limb to apply compression force to the body limb.

Teresa Kennerknecht - San Clemente CA, US

International Classification:

A41B 11/00

US Classification:

2239

Abstract:

A compression garment, having: (a) a first portion that wraps at least partially around a body part to provide compression to the body part; and (b) a second portion that wraps at least partially around a body part; wherein the second portion is wrapped onto the first portion or is attached to the first portion such that the attachment of the second portion onto the first portion changes the elastic profile of the garment from a first elastic profile to a second elastic profile; and wherein the dimensions of the first and second portions are selected such that the relative amount of the circumference of the body part that is covered by each of the first and second portions of the garment results in a garment applying a pre-determined range of compression level fluctuation to the body part during wear.
