An inflatable foot cuff for treatment of deep vein thrombosis includes a generally flexible body member (12) configured to envelop a foot of a human and having a central region (14) adjacent to the sole of the foot when applied thereon. A first inflatable air cell (30) is disposed in the central region and extends generally from at least the ball of the foot to at least the heel of the foot. A second smaller separately inflatable air cell (32) is disposed within a distal portion of the first air cell. Intermittent sequential inflation of the second distal air cell followed by inflation of the first air cell causes blood flow from the distal region of the foot to the proximal region of the foot and then up into the user's leg. The body member is also provided with preinflated air cells (46, 48) at counterforce pressure points.

L'invention concerne un manchon gonflable de pied servant à traiter la thrombose veineuse profonde. Le manchon comprend un élément (12) de corps généralement souple, conçu pour envelopper le pied d'un être humain et présentant, à l'utilisation, une zone centrale (14) adjacente à la plante du pied. Un premier compartiment (30) d'air gonflable est placé dans la zone centrale et s'étend de manière générale au moins de la partie antérieure du pied jusqu'au talon au moins. Un deuxième compartiment (32) d'air, plus petit, pouvant être gonflé séparément, est placé dans une partie distale du premier compartiment d'air. Le gonflage séquentiel intermittent du deuxième compartiment d'air distal, suivi par le gonflage du premier compartiment d'air provoque un écoulement de sang, de la zone distale vers la zone proximale du pied, et ensuite une remontée du sang dans la jambe de l'utilisateur. L'élément de corps est également pourvu de compartiments (46, 48) d'air gonflés au préalable à des points de pression opposés.
