Rapid Cycling Compression Device for the Prevention of Thrombosis

Abstract: a dvt prevention and/or mitigation device including a wearable band having an inflatable bladder with an inflatable portion. a majority of the inflatable portion of the inflatable bladder being positionable between a user's knee and a midpoint of the user's gastrocnemius muscle when the wearable band is disposed about a leg of the user. the inflatable bladder also being inflatable to apply pressure to a portion of the user's gastrocnemius muscle and a compressed air source coupled to the wearable band to deliver to the inflatable bladder successive compression cycles at a frequency of at least 3 cycles per minute, each compression cycle having a compression period and a peak inflation pressure to induce circulatory flow in a venous valve sinus of the user from each successive inflation.
