Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0880959A2] The invention relates to a process and device for adjusting the correct pressure in the different chambers of a device for draining the blood vessels and lymphatic channels of a limb, with a cuff to be applied over the limb, and consisting of several inflatable chambers adjacent to each other, characterised in that the pressure development in the different chambers is measured during the sequential inflating of the different chambers, and that, taking into account the developing pressure differences with respect to the ideal programmed pressure per chamber, the pressure in each chamber is programmed taking into account the pressure changes in those specific chambers, caused by the pressure development in at least one adjacent chamber.
