Patent

CA 2666600

The present invention discloses a non-invasive rigid-support enhanced external counterpulsation device (RS-EECP) providing a precise onset of a blood flow characterized by a sharp-wave front, useful for out-patient treatment of arterial insufficiency states, especially angina; said RS-EECP comprising a timing means and a plurality of pressing cuffs; said timing means is adapted to onset the collapsing and expanding maneuvers of the cuffs in a sequence of occasions defined along the diastolic/systolic cycle; said cuffs are fastened around at least a portion of the circumference of at least one organ comprising a vascular bed to counterpulsate against an either fixed or maneuverable support; wherein said support is a rigid member; so as a quick expansion of said vessel bed, following a forceful and effective collapsing of the same is obtained.

L'invention concerne un dispositif de contrepulsation externe amélioré non invasif à support rigide (RS-EECP) qui permet l'apparition d'un flux sanguin précis caractérisé par un front d'onde pointue et qui est utilisé pour les soins ambulatoires des états d'insuffisance artérielle, en particulier l'angine de poitrine. Le RS-EECP comprend un moyen de synchronisation ainsi qu'une pluralité de brassards compressifs. Le moyen de synchronisation est conçu pour démarrer les opérations de gonflage et de dégonflage des brassards dans une séquence d'instants définis le long du cycle diastolique/systolique. Les brassards sont fixés autour d'au moins une partie de la circonférence d'au moins un organe comprenant un réseau vasculaire de manière à contrepulser contre un support rigide, lequel est fixe ou manoeuvrable, ce qui favorise une dilatation rapide du réseau sanguin, suivie par un rétrécissement puissant et efficace de celui-ci.
