摘要： An apparatus and method for treatment of patients suffering from lymphedema manifested at various locations of the human body. The apparatus includes a multiple chamber sleeve to be positioned in a wrap around fashion on a body extremity to be treated by compression therapy. The chambers are sequentially inflated and maintained so until all chambers are inflated and then all the chambers are simultaneously deflated so as to move edema fluids out of the afflicted area and to stimulate the lymphatic system. The apparatus also includes the capability to measure the biological impedance of the extremity under treatment as a treatment parameter as well as applying interferential therapy either alone or in combination with compression therapy. Advantageously, the sleeve chambers capture pressurized air when applied thereto, at designated locations, so as to form air pockets that can selectively apply isolated points of pressure, and in combination with the application of electrical current to a medical patient's affected area, provide effective lymphedema therapy without disrupting normal vascular and lymphatic functioning.

摘要： An apparatus and method for treatment of patients suffering from lymphedema. The apparatus includes a multiple chamber sleeve positioned in a wrap around fashion on a body extremity to be treated. The chambers are sequentially inflated and maintained so until all chambers are inflated and then all the chambers are simultaneously deflated except the proximal end chamber to move edema fluids out of the afflicted area. The apparatus includes the capability of applying interferential therapy either alone or in combination with compression therapy. Advantageously, the sleeve chambers capture pressurized air when applied thereto, at designated locations, so as to form air pockets that can selectively apply isolated points of pressure, and in combination with the application of electrical current to a patient's affected area, provide effective lymphedema therapy without disrupting normal vascular and lymphatic functioning.

摘要翻译： 用于治疗患有淋巴水肿的患者的装置和方法。 该装置包括多个腔室套筒，其以环绕的方式定位在待治疗的身体末端上。 腔室顺序地充气并保持，直到所有腔室充气，然后除了近端腔室之外，所有腔室同时放气，以将水肿流体移出受影响区域。 该装置包括单独或与压缩治疗组合应用干涉疗法的能力。 有利的是，当在指定位置施加到其上时，套筒室将加压空气捕获，以便形成可以选择性地施加隔离压力点的气穴，并且结合向患者的受影响区域施加电流，提供有效的淋巴水肿治疗 而不破坏正常的血管和淋巴功能。
