CA 2413787

Therapeutic devices (30, 40, 50, 60) that provide support or pressure to tissue. Devices (30, 40, 50, 60) contain a material that is capable of being contracted from its relaxed state to an evacuated state. The material applies pressure to the tissue of a patient when the material is in its relaxed state. Reduction of pressure by application of a vacuum results in a contracted state of the device, so that the device can be applied or delivered to a patient. Release of vacuum results in a return to the relaxed state, thus providing a maximum desirable pressure to tissue and avoiding the possibility of over- pressure which can result in tissue damage or necrosis.

L'invention concerne des dispositifs thérapeutiques (30, 40, 50, 60) procurant un support ou appliquant une pression sur des tissus. Les dispositifs (30, 40, 50, 60) contiennent une matière pouvant être contractée à partir de son état relaxé dans un état évacué. La matière applique une pression aux tissus d'un patient lorsqu'elle se trouve dans son état relaxé. Une diminution de pression par application d'une dépression a pour résultat un état contracté du dispositif, de telle sorte que le dispositif puisse être appliqué ou administré à un patient. La libération de la dépression a pour résultat le retour à l'état relaxé, appliquant ainsi une pression maximum souhaitable aux tissus et évitant la possibilité de surpression pouvant se traduire par une détérioration ou une nécrose des tissus.
