Apparatus and methods for cyclically compressing the limb of a patient to improve blood flow in the limb. In one embodiment, a compression device includes a compressive section sized and shaped for extending around a portion of the limb for applying compressive pressure and a housing operatively connected to the compressive section. The housing includes first and second housing members movable relative to each other between contracted and expanded positions. A non- pneumatic mechanical actuator is provided in the housing for cyclically moving the first and second housing members from their contracted position to their expanded position.

Il s'agit d'un appareillage et de méthodes qui permettent de comprimer de manière cyclique le poumon d'un patient pour améliorer le flux sanguin dans le poumon. Dans une version, un compresseur comprend une partie compressive dimensionnée et façonnée pour entourer une portion du poumon, afin d'appliquer une pression compressive, et une enveloppe raccordée fonctionnellement à la partie compressive. L'enveloppe comprend un premier et un second éléments mobiles entre eux, entre la position de contraction et la position d'expansion. Un actionneur mécanique non pneumatique prévu dans l'enveloppe permet de déplacer de manière cyclique les premier et second éléments de l'enveloppe de leur position de contraction à leur position d'expansion.
