Reduced-pressure, compression systems and apparatuses for use on a curved body part

摘要

Abstract A system (2) for providing a force to a desired area (3) on a curved body part (4) of a person includes a dressing assembly shaped and configured to be placed on the desired area of the person, a releaseable circumferential member surrounding the curved body part that holds the dressing assembly against the desired area, a sealing subsystem for providing a fluid seal over the dressing assembly and the person' s skin, and a reduced pressure subsystem for providing a reduced pressure to the dressing assembly. When reduced pressure is supplied, the system generates the force against the desired area on the curved body part. Fig. 1 Fig. 1
