Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0205817A1] Treatment devices, comprising a cuff (40) made up of individual chambers (39) and produced from flexible material, a control facility for successively filling the individual chambers (39), and connection elements (2-10) which at least connect the individual chambers (39) to the control facility (13, 16, 18), and at least one fluid pump (44) which is connected to the individual chambers via the control facility, are known for the decongestion of the human extremities or for performing gentle massage. Similarly, with these devices, blood can be forced in specific directions in order to obtain a congestion of blood or accumulation of blood in a specific organ. However, a modified mode of operation of these known devices permits the expulsion of the thrombus or the complete emptying of blood from specific areas of the body. For this purpose, it is proposed that the individual chambers (39) be inflated individually, one after the other in a predetermined sequence, with a pressure of at least 250 millibar, the filling of a subsequent chamber beginning only when the set pressure is achieved in the preceding chamber. <IMAGE>
